IPv6

IPv6

IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol version 6. The Internet operates by transferring data between hosts in small packets that are independently routed across networks as specified by an international communications protocol, the Internet Protocol. Each host or computer on the Internet requires an IP address in order to communicate.

For more information on IPv6, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6.

Hey, PKN, I pulled it out into this page: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../homegroup-and-ipv6-troubleshooting-guide.aspx, giving credit to Rob and Zhen.

Feel free to do something similar when you see folks posting great links like that. And thanks for pointing it out to me! It's amazing content!

Can we combine this with social.technet.microsoft.com/.../4368.internet-protocol-version-6-en-us.aspx and remove this page? Too many IPv6 portals.
