 ·Verizon FiOS
| This would almost make me switch from FiOS Hopefully, we will see something from Verizon on IPv6 support soon.
It will be interesting to see how they roll this out. Some possible scenarios:
-Switch by areas and require IPv6 routers in all homes. IPv6 to IPv4 is done by Comcast Edge routers. Not very likely.
-Switch by region and support both IPv6 and IPv4. To use IPv6, you will need an IPv6 router. IPv6 to IPv4 would be done on Comcast routers based on where service is available.
However they do it, I would be happy if I could use IPv6 on my router and all my computers. But, then again does the XBOX, the WII, or the IPod Touch support IPv6? This could be complicated. |

Ashburn, VA | I see a potential market for an inexpensive and efficient translation device to be used as an interim fix until the update progress to IPv6 matures. My next home router is probably going cost me $300 or more, and I probably will want to continue using a switch for my living room to minimize the number of cables being run. My wallet hates technology.  |

My next home router is probably going cost me $300 or more, and I probably will want to continue using a switch for my living room to minimize the number of cables being run. My wallet hates technology. As an IPv4/IPv6 dual stack router, I've been using the Linksys (now Cisco small business) WRVS4400N and it's been working wonderfully for me, though I don't use the wireless on the router b/c it doesn't work in the 5Ghz frequency range (only 2.4). So if you're not going to use the router's wireless functionality, then the RVS4000 may be more appropriate.
Before switching to Comcast, I would average around 3 petabytes (that's 1024 terabytes per petabyte) before needing to power cycle the router, though that was before moving the dhcp functions to my server (I had some additional DHCP options I wanted on the leases). |
