Re: [nznog] IPv6 Incentive

Hmmm. Fail I think. Follow my logic... Ring Ring... ISP - "Hello, helpdesk speaking" User - "Hi, I really really need IPv6, can I get it please?" ISP - "Are you joking? There's no content out there, and you can get everything over V4" User - "Actually, there is some unique content available only on V6 I would like access to" (Here's what Kevin foresees) ISP - "Well, actually, you're the 1000th person today citing that reason... We'll have IPv6 up in the morning, thanks for calling" User - "Gee thanks!" (Here's what's going to happen) ISP - "Bulls**t, what content?" User - "Ummm, some really important streaming media" ISP - "And it's not available on V4?" User - "No, just V6, that's why I want V6" ISP - "What's the site? That sounds strange they don't make it available over V4" User - "Um... I'd rather not say" ISP - "Why? Is it a secret or classified?" User - "No... Actually it's adult entertainment moving pictures - for research purposes" ISP - "Sir, (*1) you're aware that you can get that stuff on V4?" User - "Yeah, but this _specific_ stuff is only available on v6" (At this stage, User breaks down and confesses the actual sitename and the ISP figures out it's an experiment, because figuring out that they don't have to supply V6 is cheaper and easier than actually doing it at this stage) (*1) - Or Madam, I wouldn't like to presume that only men want IPv6 Cheers - N On 10/04/07, Andrew Ruthven wrote:

During the NZNOG conference it was joked that if the next WoW pack required IPv6 then IPv6 would be rolled out by the ISPs (and transit providers) for the next morning. See the attached mail for an experiment that might be cause it to be rolled out for that evening... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Day [snip] Just a quick announcement that details of a new IPv6 experiment have been posted at http://www.ipv6experiment.com [snip] (I'm being intentionally vague here about the details of the content, as not to trip any email content filters.
