"Low-level equipment like network adapters and network switches may not be affected by the change, since they transmit link layer frames without inspecting the contents. Networking devices that obtain IP addresses or perform routing based on IP address do need IPv6 support." (Wikipedia)
What do you guys think about this? Surly the data link layer has to support the new ipv6 architecture to worry about error-correction and the like?
I guess once the packets have got to the network card they can be easily viewed as the frames?
