   Hello deon,   
      
   17 Feb 22 20:47, you wrote to me:

   Yes, you're right.  I stand corrected.

   I wouldn't know.  Here in the US, it is exceedingly difficult to find a large    
   ISP that supports IPv6.  All of the large ISPs have a significant investment    
   in IPv4 with NAT/CGNAT and are -very- hesitant to change.   
      
   It's so much so that all of my computers have IPv6 disabled as there's no need    
   for it right now.   
      
   A side note: here's an interesting opinion article about why IPv6 hasn't had    
   wide adoption yet in the past 25 years of its existance:

   This is quickly becoming off-topic so netmail is welcome or we can move this    
   somewhere else.   
      
   Are you an amateur radio operator?
