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. Brian

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.

Good feedback thanks Brian. We still have a large number of IPv4 hosted embeds including our video provider and various ad networks - I’d like to get them all across the line to IPv6 at some point, but that’s going to be a bit of a mission. The current process is that when we vet new providers we’re inquiring about IPv6 support and indicating that it helps them in selection if they have it deployed. But if we mandated it, we’d be pretty lonely.... At the moment a pure v6 network should be able to consume all our textual and image content but have no ads or video. Some might call this a feature ;-) The bigger headache with third parties currently is getting everyone across the line before we can do HTTPS across the site - have to fix everything down to the tiniest embed vendor before it all works. When we get this done, think I’ll send all our vendors an invoice for a crate of beer… regards, Jethro

Giving NZNOG a heads up incase your customers encounter any issues, particularly given our size/popularity. Naturally things on our end are perfect, but uh, if you happen to see any “unexpected routing features” please feel free to reach out to myself. Note that our IPv6 connectivity is provided by the Akamai CDN network.
