Re: IPS & IPv6

Released Snort (2.8) has some IPv6 latent features which can be compiled
on, but there hasn't been a wholesale review of things like the
signatures to "v6-ize" them, and Snort doesn't handle all of the myriad
IPv6/IPv4 tunneling options yet.

It would not be generally accurate to say that Snort v2.8 supports IPv6;
it's more like Snort v2.8 has some IPv6 code in it, the first steps in a
long and ugly slog.

I thought Snort is IPv6 already too?

Almost everyone will support it by July of 08, they have to if they want to
maintain any federal contracts (such as maintenance or new business).
