With all this talk about IPV6, I was wondering if there is any interest in having some content servers in the V6 space? Richard Radio NZ

Yes please. Assuming those streaming servers can do v6, of course :-) -- Nathan Ward
Totally. I'd be keen to see Premium content only on the v6 as well. Higher bitrate Stereo etc. =) Dean Richard Hulse wrote:

I suspect you'll get only a handful of takers at this stage. But if its a transition Radio NZ is going to have to make at some time anyway, why not? - Donald Neal -- Donald Neal | "I have indisputable blind faith." Research Officer | - Lt. Giardello WAND | The University of Waikato |

Because of `broken' IPv6 end hosts that attempt to get tunnelled access to the IPv6 network based on silly assumptions and do not fail gracefully. That, combined with hosts preferring AAAA over A (in many cases) = pain. Luckily, many streaming systems have "primary" URLs and "secondary" URLs, so if that sort of thing is supported by their streaming platform then it would work fine - assuming the "secondary" URL only has an A record on it. Sounds like mixed messages from me on the v6 front - combined message: If you're a content provider, do v6, but understand it well and have ways to test if it breaks things. Don't just turn it on and assume it'll work. Google are doing this by setting up opt-in IPv6 (ipv6.google.com) for now. They have ways to test breakage as well. You can use javascript to test breakage - or better, what is likely to break before you even consider a v6 roll out.[1] -- Nathan Ward [1] Implementation here: http://www.braintrust.co.nz/ipv6wwwtest/
