IPv4 and IPv6

Hi all...

Just a couple of question concerning the IPv4 and IPv6 modules... What is it that you get with IPv6 that you don't get with IPv4? More to the point, why should I enable the IPv6 module?

Thanks,

IPv6 has lots of extra features then IPv4, but if you want to go on the internet, IPv4 is the only solution. As far as I know, there are no IPv6 ISPs yet. There are services that let you tunnel IPv6 over IPv4, but that's not interesting since it slows down the traffic (overhead). ATM, IPv6 is only interesting for LANs.
