[Acronym] for InternetProtocol version 6.

Sometimes called IPng.

IPv6 has more addresses and funky new features such as different address scopes (LinkLocal,SiteLocal,GlobalScope), AnyCast, and MultiCast (and no more BroadCast), unfortunately no one supports it yet.  One day....

If you use IPv6 to connect to this wiki, you will get a DancingPenguin instead of the normal [WLUG] logo in the top right corner.

IPv6 is the next version from [IPv4].

See [IPv6Addressing]

Does anyone know if any NewZealand [ISP]s have support for ipv6 (from customer's point of view)?

See our [IPv6LessonsLearnt] for some general hints about random things we've learnt while playing with [IPv6]

See also [IPv6Setup] and [6to4].

Some of the mysterious [IPv6Flags]

For information about stting up IPv6 on the MetaNet [MetaNetIPv6]

For information about [AAAA] and [A6] [DNS] records, see [AAAAvsA6]
