Just to say: this works so well that I (as an end user via SNAP) didn't even notice.

You do need to be dual-stacked however; a lot of v4 stuff is embedded.

I think the days of IPv6-only connections are far in the future.

Indeed. But some operators are deploying XLAT464 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6877) so that they can run IPv6-only infrastructure. Allegedly it works well.

We’re getting electric cars at last, maybe the future is here and we can have IPv6 everywhere too. ;-) It’s interesting to note that Apple is now mandating that apps properly support IPv6-only networks as of iOS 9 (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=08282015a).

Are there any IPv6-enabled RSPs/ISPs that didn't cope with Stuff spontaneously enabling IPv6 ? It should have been seamless, certainly was for me on another v6-capable provider.

We haven’t had any negative reports, but it can take a few days before complaints get through.I’ll be surprised if we get none, I’m sure there must be a few misconfigured devices out there… That being said, Facebook being on IPv6 has probably help weed out any really busted systems before we went live. And Happy Eyeballs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Eyeballs) is a big plus to the IPv6 experience these days. regards, Jethro
