[TriLUG] Clear on IPv6

[Kevin Otte]

Quite right. Just because they don't exist now doesn't mean you 
shouldn't plan for it. Bringing up the network at the last minute 
because you put it off makes for a pretty crappy network.

As for ammo, I suggest firing RFC 6540 at them.

Yes, running a tunnel works. It just feels like using a horse-and-buggy 
to get to the spaceport :)

It frustrates me that TWC doesn't seem to be fully embracing IPv6 yet but I'm sure that will change.  You can run a tunnel or 6to4 like I do, if you have a routable address on your router that is (and, of course if your device supports it).
