> As an aside, and not specifically in response to either of the above emails, I recommend the certification scheme run by HE at https://ipv6.he.net/certification/, and if your ISP doesn’t yet offer IPv6, then their tunnel service will provide you with good IPv6 connectivity. It’s true that there is some learning you need to do for IPv6, but this course will take you through things in steps - start with the basics and work up to the more complicated stuff. The only bit I thought was a p.i.t.a. is a stage where you have to provide ping and traceroute results to 100 different IPv6 destinations over 100 days. The hardest part if finding 100 different destinations - at the time I did it, I did some grepping of DNS server logs at work to find them ;-)

Not only do I want to echo mr Joel but for mr Simon.
This gives great information - - - all together AND in a fashion that
I think I may even be understanding this.
Please would you fashion perhaps 2 or three more messages for
intermediate and maybe even extend this into more of the
'advanced' networking country.

I am not needing ipv6 at present but likely this spring fiber optics
are happening (finally some decent speed options) and they are
in the process of moving to ipv6 likely within a year or so. I would
prefer to know at least some more before I 'need' it.

TIA
