IPv6 is not innately restricted but microsoft has been playing patent troll, and one of the patents they can play on this is a filtering router with authentication, A rumour that has circulated is that MS plans to use that patent to ensure that it's not easy to secure an IPv6 network for anything other than Windows Clients... but it's just a rumour. I personally think the rumour is wrong in the details, but plausible in outline especially given items like this http://news.com.com/Microsoft+criticized+for+IPv6-like+patent/2100-1038_3-5632062.html But that is a tedious, anxiety producing and unproductive line of thought. I would much rather hear about your experiences setting up IPv6 routing, and would like to know if anyone on this list has done the IPv6 over IPv4 connection to the 6-Bone. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does?
