It has always required IPv4. To de-couple these, protocol-independent stuff that's currently in IPv4 (like TCP) would have to be separated to be version-independent. AFAIK, this isn't planned but might or might not happen in 2.5 series kernel. Personally, this wouldn't be too useful in production environments, but would be beneficial in seeing what the dependencies really are. In test environments IPv6-only would also be an interesting choice. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks.
