    Folks,

    Trying to use a sunpass edu thing for work, I have taken sun's advanced
    networking class for solaris 9. We've touched and played with IPv6 in the
    class, and a few questions have popped up that perhaps some of the IPv6
    experts here might answer;

    1. how are firewalls going to deal with IPv6 addressing? Or, will IPv6
    negate the need for firewalling and push everything into encryption
    boundries?

    2. icmp redirects, are they still a danger in the IPv6 realm such as they
    were and are in traditional TCP/IP?

    Thanks,

    Ron DuFresne
