Yeah.. For what reason would you want to implement IPv6 on a local area network? IPV6 offers no real benefits to LANS. The primary reason for it's creation is the increased address space, which it adds 96 bits ostensibly for removing the need for NAT's in the first place. The only thing implementing it would really do is add a layer of complexity to a system that would otherwise function just fine using IPV4
However, I was wondering if I could use IPv6 on my lan. I have one macjine on the lan which routes between the LAN Switch and the ADSL router using two ethernet interfaces.
So I was wondering if it might be possible to have IPv6 on the LAN and use NAT to translate it to IPv4 for the ADSL router using my PC with 2 NIC (also a router).
There seems to be no available references to it on the internet.
The reason for going IPv6 is to make my LAN future ready and it's cool....
