Yesterday I connected my MacBook directly to my cable modem as I was
testing whether AstLinux impacted speedtest results having just been
upgraded to Comcast higher speed service -- answer no, or if it does it is
negligible.
However I happened to notice in Network Settings that in addition to the
regular IPv4 address, DHCP had also returned a IPv6 address. This is the
first time I have noticed this and I suppose it means that Comcast now
supports IPv6
Which now begs the question whether I should enable it on my AstLinux box
which is what is ordinarily connected to the cable modem. If I do enable
it, what affect does it have.... will systems on my local LAN be issued
IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4? Are there any security or firewall
implications? Is there any benefit?
Anyone done this and/or have advice?
Thanks
David
