Can you explain this? We are working on IPv6, but will be after the new year.Jeff Root said:It is difficult for a user to connect with IPv4
It doesn't use it at all.Does Physics Forums use IPv6 preferentially?
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, which is responsible for identifying and locating devices on a network. It is important because it allows for a larger number of unique IP addresses, which is necessary as the number of devices connected to the internet continues to grow.
Yes, Physics Forums uses IPv6 preferentially over IPv4. This means that if a device supports both IPv6 and IPv4, it will use IPv6 to connect to Physics Forums.
There are several benefits of using IPv6, including a larger address space, improved security, and better performance. It also allows for more efficient routing and easier network management.
No, you should not experience any differences in using IPv6 on Physics Forums compared to using IPv4. Both protocols are supported and the website should function the same regardless of which one is used.
You can check if you are using IPv6 to access Physics Forums by using an online IPv6 test or by checking your network settings on your device. If your device has an IPv6 address and is connected to the internet, then you are likely using IPv6 to access Physics Forums.
