Remco den Besten writes "In order to promote the IPv6 protocol, some Dutch enthousiasts deploy an IPv6 MP3 stream relay server. So, do something different with your IPv6 connectivity and listen to the streams offered! See & listen (both IPv4 and IPv6)."

    ...by supplying an IPv4 stream as well, because we acknowledge it's a lot of hassle for people to use IPv6! Genius!

      v4 has a bug. Upgrade to v6. v5 was out last week but they had to take it down when they found a security problem.

      Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, all IPv4 sites will be shut down and upgraded to IPv6. The plan is to do everything on the first day of that quarter.

    IT_GUY to Boss: "Sir I believe its time we began supporting IPv6"

    Boss: "And what are the benifits?"

    IT_GUY: "More IP's better system etc."

    Boss: "What about MP3 Streaming, does it have that?"

    IT_GUY: "Why yes it does sir."

    Boss: "Well then load it up!"

    Ahh if only pretty music and pictures were the key components of Open Source software, would make convincing implementation so much easier.

      No, the RIAA will now believe that IPv6 is a tool for pirates and file sharers and will lobby congress to have it remove, resulting in the ultimate and untimely death of the Internet due to running out of IP addresses. ;)

      I wouldn't think so, since this is a Dutch effort, and not hosted in America. If I'm not mistaken, the Dutch can tell the RIAA to suck on the big one, seeing as the RIAA is an American based fascist organization. Maybe I'm mistaken though.

    This is a technology preview of IPv6 for Windows 2000. It is not a production quality implementation and should only be used for research or testing. It is not intended for production use.

    Are they talking about the IPv6 stack or Windows 2000?
