That's pretty much it at a very high level. Of course there's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling">Tunnelling</a> IPv6 inside of IPv6 and various flavours of NAT64 that you can employ (not recommended). Most people with a genuine requirement for IPv6 would run dual-stack in their entire environment along with an IPv6-capable upstream/provider.</div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I love to help demystify IPv6 and I am happy to chat in more detail perhaps at the next PLUG event?</div></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Kind </span>Regards,<br><br><i>Dean Bergin</i>.</font></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 30 Dec 2024 at 11:26, Harry McNally <<a href="mailto:chair@plug.org.au">chair@plug.org.au</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello<br>

Apologies for creating a new subject and breaking threading when sending from the server. It's complicated (and we need to fix things).<br>

[H: Thanks also for pointers on hosting from a residential FttP (I assume ?). We could use further feedback on that experiance if we are to suggest it for Pi hosting]<br>

Thanks Dean. I am not familiar with how the committee arranges these talks yet but please have a look at the dates on the Events page and let committee know what days you could present. Actually, just post ideas here I think. Other list members may then ask about particular issues and if you can cover them in the talks. <br>
<br>
I'll raise here what I have been thinking about for the talks. I attended Nick's Pi workshop at UCC and regretted not looking at the material on the links provided beforehand. I would have discovered a few wrinkles in the project that would have saved me time for the more interesting aspects.<br>
<br>
I am wondering if the talks, when announced, can include some vetted links selected by presenters, committee, or someone like Brad C who has an interest in learning a topic so we can come along with some preliminary knowledge or with questions if the learning stalls or creates further questions.<br>
<br>
As Brad pointed out, is it is the practical (implementation) advice that experience brings that I find is where on-line resources sometimes get thinner.<br>
<br>
If anyone has an idea for a talk, please consider what on-line resources are useful and from multiple material types including on-line videos. I'd be interested to see if we try this whether other participants find it useful.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Harry<br>
