OT but why not. There are currently just over 2,000 IPv6 routes announced in the global IPv6 routing table. Compare that with ~280,000 IPv4 routes* in the global IPv4 routing table and you start to get an indication of how many people are actually using it. Endpoints? Content? Still to come, especially in the US... Google didn't have an ipv6 page up until March of THIS YEAR. Even then it's not a AAAA on www.google.com. It's ipv6.google.com. Last I heard Comcast is going to start using IPv6 for non-customer facing equipment - set top boxes, backends, video on demand, etc. I've had IPv6 connectivity everywhere for quite some time and sadly it's basically worthless at the moment. The areas/countries you mention have accelerated IPv6 adoption because they've been shafted out of US-centric IPv4 IP address allocation. Now that the Internet is developing in other parts of the world, people in these countries (some of them developing themselves) want their share of IPv4 space. It just isn't available. In comes IPv6. The United States just doesn't have as much motivation to change (as usual). Obviously we are in agreement here, and I don't want AstLinux to be another piece of software that's not ready for the transition. * Yes, obviously this isn't efficient and there is much more efficiency (currently) with aggregation, etc in the IPv6 table. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
