IPv6? IPv6!

Post by dwhitemv »

Hey folks,

I'm making a mission this year to bang the drum to get IoT devices to join the 2010s and add IPv6 support. The Europeans / RIPE folks know the pain of having no IPv4 address space available already, with North America close behind.

The OpenWrt underpinnings of Meteobridge already have the necessary support, probably just needs one sysctl to enable SLAAC, but it would be nice to have a GUI for static addressing, etc. Even the meteobridge upload servers have IPv6 addresses. At the current rate of growth the majority of Internet users will be using IPv6 by 2030, so there is little reason left to wait.

I would be happy to retire my aging TPLink MR3020 and upgrade to a Pro2 if it meant IPv6 support. I'll offer to test it if you need beta testers.

Please consider this feature request. Thanks!

Sorry, I am not convinced. :-)
