iPad does IPv6

Upon connecting to the wireless network in the hotel I was staying in over the weekend, I decided to do a packet capture just to see what was going on. (Similar to reading log files, it’s worthwhile to be able to recognize the kind of entries/packets you expect to see and those that might be suspicious.)

This turned out to be a learning experience: my iPad (named ‘kepler’) has IPv6 functionality; I definitely did not know that until I saw UDP packets like this:

I subsequently found some documentation online confirming this.
