I noticed it too when I used tunnels.       IPv6 over the tunnel is significantky slower than IPv4. Up to 50% slower.       Native IPv6 is always preferable so we we should all keep perstering our ISPs       about IPv6.               VS> The bandwidth is so much lower that browsers tend to fall back to IPv4              I haven't seen that particular problem.               VS> (Yes I know there is a tweak to stop this behaviour in Firefox,        VS> nevertheless my IPv6 connection is inferior to IPv4).              As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6 at all.                     Cheers, Michiel                     --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 203/0 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/424 426 428 550 664 700 240/5138 5411 5824 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 400 250/1 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 2452/250 2454/119 5019/40 5020/545 1042       SEEN-BY: 5020/12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 240/5832 229/426           |
