[NBLUG/talk] What's the status of IPV6?

[gandalf at sonic.net]

I'm not sure how it helps much with a typical home as it's going to have 
one real IP address even if it's dynamic. They could trace it back to a 
physical address easily and then how many machines were in use at that 
time. A large business is a bit more anonymous. Also I'm pretty sure 
that NATing will still work with IPV6 even though it's largely 
unnecessary. With IPV6 you really wouldn't even need a router as a 
switch would do the trick, but I think most folks would still use one 
due to the fire walling abilities.
