Hello Jay,

That's a lot of money... Are you sure there is no way to open an IPv6 port? Have you contacted the manufacturer?

OK, I will flag your listing as "OO" then. It is better than nothing.  *)


*) Coming to think of it... Full IPv6 connectivity is better of course, but when having to choose between "OO" and "IO", Outgoing only is better. While in the near future we will see nodes that are connectable via IPv6 but no longer can accept incoming IPv4 (INO4), alll these nodes will stay have outgoing IPv4 for a long time. So your "OO" node can still have full two way connectivity with those "INO4" nodes. An "IO" node only has one way connectivity with "INO4" nodes.


Cheers, Michiel
