Hi All, An Update with Telstra Ipv6 Single-Stack.
The SA rollout has now been completed with no issues reported. Close monitoring of the network will continue in SA to ensure a smooth transition. We have now enabled it for a small amount of NSW nodes with further NSW nodes to be completed at the start of 2021. Thank you to the AusNog community for the on-going support.
