Back in 1996 when I did my very first CNE training, there was already talk about IPv6 being tested cos address space was "soon not enough"... now 15 years later I'd say the IANA should have stopped giving out addresses 5 years ago for IPv4, only on absolutely need to have IPv4 to do an exception on per situ base. And by that force rolling out IPv6. Now its a "go IPv6, or die" situation.
That being said, I've ordered 50.000 IPv6 addresses, need to give IP's to all things in my home... (probably not enough) from the spoons up to the roof tiles, at least it will be wireless connected, but the traffic will be intense. I mean... when it will be snowing the rooftiles need to communicate with the beams they lie on, about added weight, the beams ... /jest ________________________________ From: Mark Gunnett <[email protected]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 12 March, 2011 6:00:08 Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam and IPV6 Functionality Discussion I'm sure valve is ready. The problem is a lot of networks still don't support IPv6 yet. I'm on QWEST and I failed all the tests.
