[Freeswitch-users] ipv6 - any fans?

[Andrew Cassidy]

I'm all for IPv6, just get your firewalling right, depending on your OS it
doesn't always share rules automatically. Don't forget your machine will
usually have at least 3 addresses too, which can of course be bound and
firewalled individually.

But as the others have said, the main issue is support in existing kit.
Only a fraction of my devices support IPv6. It's good for some things and
not doing something just because no-one else is will never push the
progression on. The more demand we create for IPv6, the more likely ISPs
are to take it up.
