With my ISP, you can request to switch your connection from IPv6 only to dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6, then you get a public IPv4 address and NAT is performed at your home modem/router (you can then control it, do usual port forwarding stuff etc.). This does not differ from any other ISP, where you usually also get a single public IPv4 address and must do NAT. > My point is mostly that it's quite possible to get IPv6 if you want, > most small or medium organizations just don't have the expertise to > do it, and the providers are not very helpful. Well, doesn't the fact that the provider I'm talking about (and it's a really very big one) is *mostly* IPv6 based, somehow contradict that? -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
