Teach me about ipv6

[Bird222]

I want to start learning about and possibly using ipv6. Keep it simple at first please.

Wikipedia is where I would start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

I don't have a need for IPv6 right now and my very old solid and in current use WRT54GL router doesn't support it unless I use an IPv6 broker which I read up on and is far too complicated for me to set up. I'm just going to buy myself a Asus RT N-66U and will be flashing with DD-WRT as I have that on my current router.

I have never ran into a website that used IPv6.

Nobody using ipv6?

There's really very little reason to use IPv6 except to say that you are using it. If you want to just learn about it, I recommend looking at some online tutorials. These are a few examples I found with a quick search.

People who are using Win 7 HomeGroup are unbeknown to them using IPv6

Over the Internet? One day it will be inevitable. Currently it is mostly useless!
