The State of IPv6

Gnea writes submits this article "about the current state of IPv6, the Next Generation of Internet Protocol version 6, mostly according to Cisco. It's also an interesting roadmap about where and how IPv6 will proliferate around the world.. Apparently China has a grasp already with Korea and Japan, who leads the "Five key Chinese carriers, including China Telecom, China Unicom, China Netcom/CSTNET, China Mobile, China RailCom and CERNET (China Education and Research Network), are slated to join CNGI, building their own national IPv6 backbone independently, while interconnecting with at least two IPv6 IX." while Verio appears to have already tuned into some turnkey solutions recently that are publicly available." And SgtChaireBourne writes "ZDNet is reporting that the EU and South Korea will collaborate to develop IPv6 applications and services. The agreement was finalized at the Global IPv6 Service Launch Event in Belgium last week. There are good reasons to move to IPv6, including security, multicasting, simplified header structures, and better routing to name a few."

    I'm blocking all ports and NAT everything via router/firewall along with all the IPV4. Woo hoo .. another protocol goes to waste.

    VIBRATORS!
    In addition, with some, surely somewhat hopeful research* suggesting that the average home contains 250 devices (toasters, electric toothbrushes, vibrators?)
    So the researchers decide to include vibrators too? Imagine the fun in that, vibrator hacking... set speed=vagina-shattering *scream from the other side of the dorm* "Heh heh heh..."
