IPv6

Unread post by Darktiger138 »

So, I was in class today and this thing about IP addresses came up, I inquired about IPv6 and found out that it in fact interferes with other aspects of the computer, such as that of the IPv4. I went on to discover that this is in fact what is stopping me from port forwarding, so here comes my question, what do you know about IPv6 and have you ever come across this before?

Why? You'd only need to bypass it, if it wasn't backwards compatible. But it is. Isn't it?

Wait what, but it's not, because it is seperate from IPv4, which is what the IPv6 is messing with, if it is backwards compatible then why does it say both the IPv4 and IPv6?

Because ipv4 is not forwards compatible with ipv6? To be honest I don't understand this either. Why would they need both?

Oh maybe because old applications reference ipv4 and would need to be updated to reference ipv6. That could be it.

It's because the world doesn't want to spend a ton of money to replace the switches and hubs, this means that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is going to be slow, and yes, IPv4 is still needed in systems to be able to function, and IPv6 is shoved onto newer systems because, well that part's obvious. So it looks like I'm gonna have to hit the books :(
