    I don't know about on your side of the pond, but over here all the ISPs are burying their heads in the sand over it

    My ISP has been beta testing ipv6 on their network for a year now. They're the only ones I've seen in Canada doing this.

    http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23849317-IPv6-beta

    My PC and OS are ipv6 capable, can't say the same about my 4-5 yr's old router and modem though

    Too old for anyone to write appropriate firmware as well.

    I thought ISPs got around this by making their network a sort of 'local' network.

    Please explain in terms we can understand. An IP address now consists of 4 numbers separated by periods. Are they just going to have more than 4 numbers or is it something more cryptic?

    An example.. 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf

    Note that the :3: is actually 0003 but you will be able to omit leading 0's in any section/field.

    That's how it is displayed, and it is called a dotted decimal IP number, but it actually a 32 bit number for the current system which is IPv4

    the 32 bit number is grouped into four blocks of 8 bits and these are in turn converted from Binary into decimal.

    EXAMPLE:
    11010011110010001001101000101001
    becomes
    11010011.11001000.10011010.00101001 by dividing into 8 bit blocks
    this then becomes
    211.200.154.41 by converting each block to decimal

    This is purely an imaginary IP address used for this example only.

    Hope that helped.

    Vince Cert, the father of the Internet and now the Chief Google evangelist talks about this at a recent Linux Convergence, LCA2011 held in Brisbane, Australia in January this year.
