Deep Space 6 Publishes New IPv6 Status Pages

Posted by michael on from the RSN dept.

Mauro Tortonesi writes "The Deep Space 6 initiative publishes the first of the new IPv6 Status Pages: Current Status of IPv6 Support for Networking Applications. The IPv6 Status Pages are a survey of the current status of IPv6 support for the Linux networking stack, system libraries and networking applications. At the moment there is only one page concerning the IPv6 support of Linux networking applications, but we are planning to publish more pages soon and to extend our target to other important UNIX-derived OSes (e.g. *BSD) too."

  1. NAT will never be eliminated! by SHEENmaster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At least not until ISPs stop being jackasses.

    My ISP used to offer all the addresses one could grab, so I just used my cable modem as a DHCP server for my lan like an idiot. The end result was that transfering a file from one computer to another went along at a slow crawl.

    Companies can charge outrageous fees for more addresses. Now that they've stuck me to one, it would cost $150 to get two of the things.
