Re: IPS conference call

[Jon Hanny <jehanny () GWU EDU>]

Not to mention that unless it is explicitly turned off, Windows Vista,
Windows 7, and possibly even Windows XP all have IPv6 turned on by
default and IPv6 traffic is running on networks undetected and
unmonitored. Any IPS/IDS these days really need IPv6 functionality in my
opinion.
