Can FC5 Route/Work With IPv6 Addresses?

[David Desscan]

Very interesting topic.  I'm including some links for FYI. I know that some
websites are IPv6 enabled and if you are on an IPv4 network, you can't
access them. Others have gateways which can encapsulate IPv4 packets from
outside and allow access to their IPv6 network.  However this involves
processing at the gateways and would not be a problem if we all use
IPv6. Most of the the relay routers are only IPv4 and don't even have the
ability to encapsulate IPv4 packet in IPv6 and vice versa to reach the
different network.  Now the other question is about what are the other
protocols and applications which can understand and process IPv6 packets.
