<title>ipv6 address</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21014187</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a few questions:
1) We know that IPv4 is given by IANA to RIR, from RIR to NIR, from NIR to ISPs and from ISPs to us. How are IPv6 address given?
2) When i install IPv6 in my WinXP SP3 system, it shows my both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by 'ipconfig' command. I want to know how is this IPv6 address generated in my PC? I didn't ask anyone to give me my IPv6 address so is it generated automatically or how ...]]></description>

<title>An idea for boosting IPV6 popularity</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20857222</link>
<description><![CDATA[Step number 1) tie up all the IPV6 evengelists and keep them hidden.  You  know who I mean, the type that does everything except knock on people's doors Saturday mornings.

Step number 2) develope a "must-have killer app" that works best on IPV6

Right now, P2P and multimedia in general is overwhelming servers.

Let's face it, unicast (separate connection and duplicated bandwidth for each viewer) does NOT scale.  Attempting a few million simultaneous streams overloads the central servers.

Offloading this onto your ISP (see http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Live-BitTorrent-Streaming-Gains-in-Popularity-96455 ) ends up overloading your ISP's servers instead.

The answer is IPV6 multicast.  A stream is sent out once, but can be received by everybody who has selected it.  There was an unsuccessful attempt to do this in IPV4 ("MBONE").  It "worked" but didn't take off.  With the current generation of broadband speeds and faster CPUs, multicast streaming should be a success.

Develope multicast multimedia, and let the word spread to the mainstream media.  And the only servers being overloaded will be at forums like this with all the newbies coming in and begging for instructions on how to get on.]]></description>
