I gave a talk for OCLUG in 2001 on socket programming. I was able to find the material... http://www.jukie.net/~bart/slides/socket-intro/socket-intro.ps.gz IPv6 was mentioned, but not in great detail. If there was really interest in a programming talk, I could clean these slides up and update them for IPv6. -Bart On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 14:10, Bart Trojanowski <bart [ at ] jukie [ dot ] ca> wrote: > I, or better yet MCR, could talk to some of these questions. > > WRT programming, it all depends on the language really.
