   Hello Tim,

   Ten years ago things were different indeed. While IPv6 was introduced over 20   
   years ago, ten years ago implemenentations were still more or less in the   
   infant fase and ever so often IPv6 connections would fail for one reason or   
   another. Mostly because systems advertised IPv6 connectivity but in fact did   
   not. Nowadays that is rare. And now with DS-Lite connections, IPv4 is the   
   inferior protocol, so IPv6 should be the preferred connection whenever   
   possible.

   Good. ;-)

   OK.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
