IPv6 support ?

[kiwi 2]

Hi,

We are now in 2014, debian support IPv6 for ages (more than 5 years now) when we can have IPv6 support on HC2 (and HCL, ... HC3, whatever ?).

All software component on the Linux OS Fibaro use can work with IPv6...

So it may the time to move on (and may Fibaro can be the first domotic box that support it).

Advantages :

- remove of all this fscking stuff like NAT and all the way to bypass NAT and nasty stuff

- one ip address that "can" be reachable directly without passing using ssh forward and some brain damaged stuff

- be ready to be deployed some place where IPv4 doesn't exist (wake up the ipv4 exhaustion is *REALLY* comming here)

- when ipv6 is reachable (mobile phone or whatever) then you don't have to rely on tunnels that goes to Fibaro's datacenter...

Common, apache / linux stack / low level software DOES support IPv6.... !

I have four /48 ranges and my home network is pretty much all v6 by now (Yeah, HE tunnels of course, via my Mikrotik devices)... but frankly, I must admit that my HC2 is extremely low on my "i wish this device would have v6 support"-list. I still prefer using a VPN to access my home environment, and i would still not be able to set up static access rulkes for v6 until my mobil provider assigned me static v6 addresses for my phones and tablets.

Sure, when significant part of home users actually are getting native v6 connections then it would be worthwile to look in to it.

But as things stand now, what would actually be the point?

I will have a try to see if traffic between HC2 and network are NAT64 compatible (eg if there is no litterals used like
