| Transparent IPv4 to IPv6 I wonder if with IPv6 compatible routers they will just transparently do IPv4 to IPv6. They could leave the LAN side IPv4 for computability of older hardware. The router just transparently uses one of the IPv6 IPs and attaches it to a mac address for internet access. Then you wouldn't have the headaches of IPv6 and your XBox or what ever else. The only problem would be direct connection to your IP, say you open a ftp for a friend to view some photos, in that case you would need to point them to an IPv6 address.
Though now that I think about it this would only work if you had IPv6 and what ever you where connecting to had an address your XBox could understand. So this may only work if you have IPv6 and someone else had IPv4. I still don't see any reason not to give things on your lan two IPs one IPv6 and the other IPv4. |

| Growth pains I seem to remember bridging being discussed in one of the RFC's about network addressing, but now Im blasted if I can find it lol. For those interested, you should be able to search it at:
»www.rfc-editor.org
But yea, I can see that being the case. Like anything else its gonna be a rough transition. |
