That's what I basically did and I've        BR>>> been fine since.               VS>> That's what I've done, but it results in a lower bandwidth over        VS>> IPv6, and extra hops.               MV> A tunnel is good, native IPv6 is better. I noticed it too when I used        MV> tunnels. IPv6 over the tunnel is significantky slower than IPv4. Up to        MV> 50% slower. Native IPv6 is always preferable so we we should all keep        MV> perstering our ISPs about IPv6.              I fully agree.               VS>> The bandwidth is so much lower that browsers tend to fall back to        VS>> IPv4               MV> I haven't seen that particular problem.              Please see my reply to Brian.               VS>> (Yes I know there is a tweak to stop this behaviour in Firefox,        VS>> nevertheless my IPv6 connection is inferior to IPv4).               MV> As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6        MV> at all.              Sure.              Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN       --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20170303-b20170303        * Origin: Ulthar (2:5005/49)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 50/109 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 153/757       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/840 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/702 229/424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 550 664 700 240/5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038 292/854 8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 463/68 467/239 888 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 4500/1 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 53 5015/46 5020/545       SEEN-BY: 5020/715 830 846 1042 2047 2140 4441 5058/104 5064/56 5080/102       SEEN-BY: 5083/1 444       PATH: 5005/49 5020/1042 221/6 153/757 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
