What I can understand is that enabling IPv6 would mean: * the NIC driver / direct memory access stuff would still be in the sys-net vm * if sys-net would like to act as a router, the subnet you get from your ISP would have to be bigger than a /64 * sys-firewall should be able to perform the same filtering as today, albeit with more complex rules (?) * there would be no internal nat / private subnetting (?) I'm not as much as knowledgeable on IPv6 as I should be, so I'm only guessing the work that should be done. If anybody could find/link/remember the reasons why IPv6 was explicitly discarded in a first moment I'd like to re-read that... -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
