10.3: Use IPv6 by default in Safari
Authored by: u502sou on Jul 01, '07 03:29:03AM

[why use ipv6 when ipv4 is available, too?]

In an ideal world, you'd have a point. However, for me the question is the other way round: why use ipv4 when ipv6 is available, too? My ipv6 provider is cheaper than my ipv4 provider, so I want to use ipv6 as much as possisble.

Also, there are operational benefits - I don't fill the IP-NAT gateway's translation table when I use the directly-routed ipv6 - my ipv6 provider gives me a network, so the Mac has its own global address.
