- IPv6Now Tunnels FAQ
How tunnels work, how to install them on Windows, Macs, Linux and BSD machines, and a troubleshooting guide. - The IPv6 Prefix Primer
A brief, easy-to-follow guide to IPv6 notation, prefixes and subnetting, by Karl Auer, IPv6Now Technical Manager. - The Six Fundamental Benefits of IPv6
Easier management of networks, end-to-end connective integrity, unconstrained address abundance, platform for innovation and collaboration, integrated interoperability and mobility, improved security features. - IPv4 Exhaustion: Are You
Worried Yet?
You've probably seen a few of those IPv4 depletion counters ticking ominously away towards zero address hour, but what are they based upon, and why do they matter? - IPv6 Primer
IPv4 has almost reached its use-by date. Nearly all possible IPv4 addresses have been allocated to networks and computers - and unlike telephone numbers, when you run out of IP addresses you can't just add another digit. - IPv6 Myths
The more people learn, the more they realise that IPv6 is not merely a way to avoid the address space crunch, it is also a path to innovation and new opportunities. But along with good information, bad information is out there, and some tenacious myths are causing unwarranted concern. - IPv6 Advantages
The benefits of the Internet are drawn directly from the interoperability created by use of the Internet Protocol, leading to a large "network effect". Because IPv6 will greatly increase the size and range of devices connected to the Internet, the benefit of the network effect will increase accordingly. - IPv6 Capabilities
The basic carriage and management services of IPv4 all have their equivalents in IPv6. However IPv6 offers enhanced and additional capabilities: vastly increased address space, fixed 40-byte headers, autoconfiguration, IPsec support, end-to-end transparency, attribute extension headers, anycasting, mobileIPv6, flow label QoS.
