[Gllug] My network is using IPv6 ... and I didn't even know it ?!?

[Richard Jones]

I wonder what people make of this.  I've got a couple of ssh sessions
open from a Mac, over a mixed wireless / wired LAN, to a Linux 2.6.0
machine.  Looking at netstat on the Linux 2.6.0 machine shows:

rich at arctor:~$ netstat | grep 10.0.0.2
tcp6       0     48 arctor.home.annexia:ssh ::ffff:10.0.0.2:49824   ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 arctor.home.annexia:ssh ::ffff:10.0.0.2:49827   ESTABLISHED

Are these IPv6 connections?  If so .. how?  The DNS only advertises
IPv4-style addresses for the LAN.  The DHCP box is a DSL router which
(I assume) will also only give out v4 addresses.

Or am I misunderstanding the output of netstat?

Rich.
