I wanted to have IPv6 on this page so people experiment it. (Having a feature enabled in Debian doesn't means that every user know how to use it. Which can cause disruption of service). BTW, As you may notice, I have deliberately omitted the "low risk" section. > It's something you may not have power on (if your netadmin or ISP > decides to enable IPv6, it's their choice, not yours.

So the "risk" questions are : - Can a service become unavailable because of IPv6 ? (including side-effects, or remote sites that have broken IPv6 configuration, causing unavailability). - How long and how difficult is to recover the situation ? - Network security (no NAT, so inner systems are exposed by default) The second point is especially true for people that do simple web/mail hosting. Messing-up DNS can take time to recover. Anybody aware of bad end-user IPv6 experience ? Anybody feels like improving IPv6 wiki page[1] to explain those pitfalls (if any) ?
