Specially tunneling. Is there anything I can get with using IPv6 at this point that I can't while using IPv4? There's been mention of wireless. Does that have anything to do with it? Last I read up on IPv6, it's sole purpose (and I could be wrong) was just to address the dwindling address space of IPv4. Currently, are there any public machines accessible on the Internet that are only addressable via IPv6? (It just dawned on me that I may be missing out on a lot of things because I'm not using IPv6 right now). BTW ... to Cisco engineers out there. How are the core routers coping? I understand that when the time comes, it'll take a LOT of processing power to handle the 128-bit address space and the number of smaller subnets. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
