was just reading about Yahoo turning up IPv6 for testing, and having a day - June 8 -
PC with v6 -> v4 -> v4 -> v4 -> Yahoo with v6 ?
Is there any ISP that is handing out IPv6 addresses ? and what about all the hardware ??
Simplified, the IPv6 packets would need to be encapsulated into IPv4 packets before being able to traverse the IPv4 network. I doubt if the required gateways are in place to make it happen end to end, but I don't know.
testing site -
Here's a link describing a How To for getting IPv6 connected.
As you would expect, you need a proxy, gateway, tunnel, etc to transport your IPv6 across the v4 world until it dumps off into the v6 world.
