Operating Systems play a key role as IPv6 transition mechanisms.

Operating systems implement IPv6 itself; they aren't really transition mechanisms per se.--99.234.28.46 (talk) 05:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why linux distributions are here repeated 4 times? Ipv6 is more about kernel support. DHCP is done be userspace components, exactly in the same way as is done in freebsd. I suggest merging 4 linux distributions into one entry: Linux. I do not know howere how to merge citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.213.255.7 (talk) 17:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of the columns are determined solely by the kernel, and it is quite possible to make a Linux system without any IPv6 support, just look at webOS.
There are actually 8 entries using the Linux kernel in this list. The only one I think should be removed is "Access Linux Platform", which seems mostly dead. --Cybjit (talk) 19:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I find it strange that for MacOS 10.6 a bug is mentioned while no bugs for other OSes are mentioned (hard to believe there aren't any) and the bug is not relevant today because it has been fixed in the latest available version/update. Also, all four references for this trace back to a single author (which would be me). --81.69.168.171 (talk) 19:00, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
