Re: Off topic: Any one know of a good IPV6 reference book?

Doesn't V6 allow for end-to-end encryption and authentication?

That would solve a lot of issues for secure networks.  And with the cap 
off addresses, it should make thing very interesting.  It will change 
the Internet so that unauthenticated traffic will get a different class 
of service.

NAT was a hack and although it works fine for small environments it 
falls apart for large user networks. The lack of auditing is pure 
nightmare for tracking down abuse from the inside in a large network.

I applaud the DOD efforts, they created the Internet and I have no doubt 
that mandating V6 will tip the scales for adoption. They did this in 
early 80 with IP, they'll do it again.

Linksys probably has V6 fully implemented on a lab firmware and I expect 
transition to be relatively painless (but it's a pure guess at this point)

PS This is the first time that I find myself disagreeing with Marcus...
