IPv6

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I became interested in IPv6 after receiving an invitation to a 
conference about the end of the IPv4 addresses, which seems closer in 
SouthAmerica than in the USA, probably because they reserved a lot of 
addresses.

I was able to start functions of IPv6 in my Linux computer, but not in 
the i Series at V5.3  I read that the support for IPv6 gets improved a 
lot in V5.4, and I plan to upgrade soon.  In the manuals I didn't find 
how to configure IPv6, what I read seems to use a windos computer, and 
not native to the i Series.

It seems a good idea to migrate to IPv6 at leisure, not wait until we 
have to do it.  Aparently there are quite a few adventages in IPv6, 
besaides of the larger address space.

Does anybody have experience?

     The future of the Internet

According to experts, the Internet as we know it will face a serious 
problem in a few years. Due to its rapid growth and the limitations in 
its design, there will be a point when no more free addresses are 
available for connecting to new hosts.
