Question for the Local Guru's

I haven't had to impliment it yet and only have the briefest passing
overview of it.

IPv6

Does it work with present, existing NIC's or will a whole new breed of
network cards that are IPv6 compatable be cranked out over the next 30
years?

It's just another protocol on top of Ethernet, protocol number 6. (They
skipped 5, I forget why.) WinXPSP2 and the Fedora Core 2 on have support
for IPv6, and FC2 includes 6to4 tunneling built-in. If you have a FC2
gateway or later, you can use it connect your LAN to the 6BONE (the IPv6
backbone) by tunneling IPv6 to a router with an anycast address over IPv4.
If you're lucky, your ISP has such a router, but more likely your packets
have to go to Europe to connect to the 6BONE.

IP v4 and v6 packets are "encapsulated" in the packets of the physical
layer, whether they be Ethernet or PPP. There's a field in the containing
hardware packet that says what's inside the physical packet, whether it be
IPv4, IPv6, NETBIOS, or some other lower level protocol. When the hardware
packet arrives at the recipient, the driver looks at that field to decide
what higher layer driver to dispatch it to. It's just a lookup table to a
subroutine. Back in DOS days, this was done by "binding" the drivers
together, building the lookup table dynamically based on what drivers you
had.

It should work now.

It has enough addressing space to give something like 1500 addresses
to every square meter of the earth's surface.

So we should be good until we start doing off-world colonizing.

Hehehe, we'll look like Coruscant then! No oceans seen from space,

I'm surprised. Y'can always count on O'Reilly for good information though.

I humbly bow down before my computer god.

I know someone else said it not long ago, and not in these
exact words, but DAMN you're smart. Either that or you have
the most amazing photographic memory of anyone I know.

I think I'll stick to the hardware side of these beasts..........

I go for the latter. Plus, I'm patient! I recall reading that Newton was
capable of intense concentration, and his ability to work out Physics is
largely attributed to that.

I suspect this might be relevant:

But I have no memory for names and faces. I'm very left-brained in this
regard. I suspect if I took an anatomy class that gave me a way to classify
faces in some sort of mechanistic way, I'd do much better.

That is funny. My son is the same way. He has taught himself to converse
in several languages -- Czech, Norwegian and German -- and learning
Vietnamese and Spanish; is a brilliant piano player, song writer and
teacher, and has a mind for math closing in on rain man. When my wife was
trying to teach him algebra (home schooled) he would come up with his own
formulas of finding the correct answer aside from the ones in the book. He
could add numbers in his head on road trips from all road signs accurately
enough on repeat trips to tell me I had missed an exit. Yet he cannot
remember what people look like if he has not seen them after several months.

I never forget a face, but names always elude me.

<light bulb goes on over head>

Say, I wonder if that's related to my noting the men's faces
first in Dave's photos? Interesting subject to ponder. Right after
more coffee.............

That's amazing. I forget faces and names a lot, too.

It's a pity I can't do any of that other stuff.

George Lucas "sampled", "borrowed", "plagerized" plot-lines and/or
visual ideas from someone else?!

Pshh, next thing you'll be telling me is that Bill Gates and Microsoft
do the same thing.

Okay, Lucas.

Anyway, flying out to Scotland today for a 2 month job. Adios.
