      Hello Markus,              On Thursday May 31 2018 16:31, you wrote to me:               MvdV>> There should be potential in R24 as well. I only count 6 IPv6        MvdV>> nodes in R24. Just as many as in R28, but R24 is a lot bigger.               MR> A lot of nodes over here are still running OS/2 which doesn't support        MR> IPv6.              And it probably never will, so they are beyond hope... :)               MR> They could use a simple proxy for inbound IPv6 connections but aren't        MR> keen on setting up one.              Outgoing IPv6 capability is much more usefull for the near future than       inbound. It will be a long time before there are nodes that do not have       outgoing IPv4 capability. Outgoing IPv4 (at least for Fdionet) works fine from       behind CGNAT. Much sooner, there will be nodes that cab only handle incoming       via IPv6. So to contact those, one needs outgoing IPv6. Outgoing proxy is a       lot harder.               MvdV>> So how about you making some noise in the R24 sysop echo? ;-)               MR> That would be a waste of energy. :)              I see that you spend some energy on it anyway. Time will tell if it is       wasted...               MR> We have to wait until nodes are forced to IPv6 by their ISPs. Another        MR> cup of tea? ;)              Here (Netherlands) no one is forced onto IPv6 yet. Ziggo (a daughter of       Liberty Global) is now issuing DS-Lite to new customers. But they can be       switched to IPv4 only on request. So waiting for the ISP to turn the tide is       waiting for the sun to rise in the west. As it has been for the last decade...                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
