=================================

In near future, a new generation of IPv6 comes.

It isn't too serious. There are a lot of good guide lines we can follow them.

However, if you are a programmer (especially, a server programmer), you may need to prepare it by yourself.

IPv6 is not very difficult, but also not so simple.

To use both IPv4 and IPv6, there are several technologies we need to know.

In most case, Linux is quite faster than Windows.

In this IPv6 case, Linux almost completed to prepare it.

Its flexible kernel system makes it faster.
