This patch makes the default to build IPv6 into the kernel. IPv6 now has significant traction and any remaining vestiges of IPv6 not being provided parity with IPv4 should be swept away. IPv6 is now core to the Internet and kernel. Points on IPv6 adoption: - Per Google statistics, IPv6 usage has reached 7% on the Internet and continues to exhibit an exponential growth rate https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html - Just a few days ago ARIN officially depleted its IPv4 pool - IPv6 only data centers are being successfully built (e.g. at Facebook) This patch changes the IPv6 Kconfig for IPV6. Default for CONFIG_IPV6 is set to "y" and the text has been updated to reflect the maturity of IPv6. Impact: Under some circumstances building modules in to kernel might have a performance advantage. In my testing, I did notice a very slight improvement. This will obviously increase the size of the kernel image. In my configuration I see: IPv6 as module: text data bss dec hex filename 9703666 1899288 933888 12536842 bf4c0a vmlinux IPv6 built into kernel text data bss dec hex filename 9436490 1879600 913408 12229498 ba9b7a vmlinux Which increases text size by ~270K (2.8% increase in size for me). If image size is an issue, presumably for a device which does not do IP networking (IMO we should be discouraging IPv4-only devices), IPV6 can be disabled or still built as a module.

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
|
|
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly

deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides

|
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
|

IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network

infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
|
|
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
|
|

With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by

Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within

another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the

encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements

GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows

encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
|
|
This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
|
|
likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP

|
tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution

through the tunnel.
