Slightly off-topic, but tangentially related that I'll dare to ask. I'm attending an "Emerging Communications" course where the instructorstated that there are SOHO routers that natively support IPv6, pointing toAsia specifically.Do Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, etc. have such software for the Asian markets?
I seem to think I've seen SOHO routers (or "gateways" I suppose, assuming that these boxes are rarely simply routers) on display at beer'n'gear-type venues at APRICOT meetings, going back several years. The glossy pamphlets have long since been discarded, so I can't tell you names of vendors.
More mainstream for this market, Apple's airport extreme "SOHO router" does IPv6.
http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/specs.htmlI have not had the time to figure out what "does IPv6" means, exactly (DHCPv6? IPv6 DNS resolver?) but I seem to think it will provide route advertisements and route out either using 6to4 or a manually- configured tunnel.
