      *** Answering a msg posted in area FTSC_PUBLIC (Public FTSC).              Hello Markus,              On Saturday December 30 2017 16:25, you wrote to Robert Wolfe:               RW>> Yeah, fortunately, however, my ISP, Comcast, offers BOTH IPv4 and        RW>> IPv6 addresses to those of us with Business Class service (which,        RW>> for the past two or so years has been nothing but flawless for        RW>> me). The only drawback is that you can have one or the other and        RW>> not both IPv4 AND IPv6 in use at the same time.              Educated guess:              Comcast follows the example of the European daughters of Liberty Global:              New customers or customers that for some reason get a new modem/router are put       on a DS-Lite connection. On request they are downgraded to an IPv4 only       connection. Dual Stack is phased out and only available on high end bussiness       accounts.               MR> Interesting. It would be great to get feedback from all regions about        MR> IPv4/6 deployment and things to watch out. We have to make sure that        MR> our network works fine with all the local peculiarities. BTW, we got a        MR> dedicated echo for IPv6: IPV6 ;)              Here in The Netherlands the DSL and fiber providers that offer IPv6 still       offer Dial Stack. The cable companies are going DS-Lite.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
