- frostw, on 01/03/2008, -3/+50ICANN haz IPv6 !!!
- thespudmall, on 01/03/2008, -2/+39Your on a friggen tech news site. Get used to it.
- trejrco, on 01/03/2008, -1/+33EDNS0 support & not blanket-filtering TCP/53, FTW!
- sockpuppets, on 01/03/2008, -6/+31Skynet's been waiting for this day.
- newbr33d, on 01/03/2008, -1/+23This is what I expect to see when I come to Digg. Good article.
- bsdboy, on 01/03/2008, -1/+17They're trying: http://www.ipv6porn.com/
- swordedge, on 01/03/2008, -2/+18Ahh Address Space....
IPv6 has 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 Addresses. In English that is
Three Hundred Forty Undecillion Two Hundred Eighty Two Decillion Three Hundred Sixty Six Nonillion Nine Hundred Twenty Octillion Nine Hundred Thirty Eight Septillion Four Hundred Sixty Three Sextillion Four Hundred Sixty Three Quintillion Three Hundred Seventy Four Quadrillion Six Hundred Seven Trillion Four Hundred Thirty One Billion Seven Hundred Sixty Eight Million Two Hundred Eleven Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Six Addresses
340 X 10 to the 36th power
Oh, and Vista has it running out of the box - markp93, on 01/03/2008, -0/+15These folks love numbers... 6/6/6 was the date of the 6bone abatement, 2/4/8 for the root server update, cleva...
- masterm1nd, on 01/03/2008, -2/+16Was a tech news site.
- bsdboy, on 01/03/2008, -1/+15And the rest of you have until 2010. Get to it!
- CrucifiedEgo, on 01/03/2008, -0/+13Do you have any idea how freaking hard it is to get IP blocks allocated from ARIN? Next to impossible. IPv6 is incredibly relevant to me. In order to get more IPs, we've gotta prove 80% utilization, and by that time, the clock is ticking. This includes one company with multiple datacenters... and have fun trying to reroute blocks from one dc to another in order to meet said 80% quota.
- turpenine, on 01/03/2008, -0/+10numbers is kind of what they do.
- bagelpirate, on 01/03/2008, -0/+10You'd be perfect for making laws about it then.
- kevincw01, on 01/03/2008, -1/+10he thinks that because he has a NAT router that his privacy is protected. Police:"Sir, we traced the child porn to the IP of your cable modem at your house" him:"no no, I have a NAT router. It coulda been my wife or my kids..."
- Matteos, on 01/03/2008, -0/+9Sadly.
- pastasauce, on 01/04/2008, -0/+9/sigh
- bcat, on 01/03/2008, -0/+7You have no privacy on the Internet anyway. Totally unique addresses won't make things much worse than they already are.
- skyshock1, on 01/03/2008, -3/+10Why are you even here?
- Muncher, on 01/03/2008, -0/+7ICANN is based in the US, so it isn't "backwards" to them.
- antdude, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6It was delayed. Don't you remember T3?
- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 01/03/2008, -5/+11I do not understand this intertubes. :[
- DarkJesus, on 01/03/2008, -1/+71997 has come and gone. We're safe.
- sockpuppets, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6My guess is inbreeding.
- expatcatalyst, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Right on!
- sockpuppets, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5I see the short bus just dropped you home.
- nirav72, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Sweet! Now even my door knobs will have IP addresses!
- newbr33d, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4And would you like to develop that thought any more? What privacy concerns?
I am interested in what you have to say and I am NOT being ironic. - skyshock1, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4That is AWESOME.
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5I would have to agree somewhat, however unique identifiers in all ethernet cards for ease of ip assignment make it extremely easy to track all network activity of a computer...
no more plausible deniability - diversionmary, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5haw, i just disabled ipv6 the other day.
alias net-pf-10 off
# alias net-pf-10 ipv6 - Draggonguy, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3xp does since SP1

Tell me about it - redxii, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5It means there will be more registration #s for the International Standard Tube Number (ISTN) system.
- Echomote, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3In XP the protocol isn't enabled to network adapters by default. It is a very easy thing to add though.
- bcem, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3Absolutely nothing.
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -3/+5I may be the only one who feels this way, but i would prefer to stay with IPv4 for privacy concerns...
I don't particularly like the implications of IPv6 IP address identifiably - inactive, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2What does this mean for the average joe? Will we have to buy new routers/firewalls? Or we should just take it in stride?
- Neorio, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2The day the routers died....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y36fG2Oba0 - bsdboy, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2And IPv4 runs out on 3/6/9
- swordedge, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Several actually. About 1500 per square foot of earths surface. Would you believe they did not want to deal with lack of address space again anytime soon?
- ccheath, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2so it's like over a third of a googol?
wow.. that's a lot... still not a googolplex, but... - Macskeeball, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2In case you weren't being sarcastic, IPv4 is accounted for within a small space of IPv6.
- bsdboy, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Currently the amount of information that is pulled from the ROOT servers is already over 400 bytes. Adding these IPv6 servers to the list will bring the information to above the 512 byte limit.
So if you were to have a script that updates your root.names file occasionally, and your firewall doesn't support DNS packets over 512 bytes or DNS over TCP then you could potentially blank out your root.names file. This could potentially render your DNS server useless for things that it is not authoritative for. - makenshi, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2I have been using the ORSN servers instead of the ICANN servers for the root namespace for the past few years, and they have had IPv6 support for some time now. A copy of the hints file is available at http://european.de.orsn.net/tech-hint.php,
- blipblopblip, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1amazing!
- edis0n, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1http://ip6.no/
- felch, on 01/03/2008, -1/+2"Time to check that DNS software and those firewalls to avoid any possible trouble."
This line is BS. ipv6 won't matter until nearly all ISPs support it, and even then, the ipv4 address space is routable through ipv6. - bsdboy, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1Where are you pulling that from?
- zwaldowski, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1Weird, it's been around since XP SP1. Just add it.
