Agreed 100% - to it's credit Comcast does that on the -working- CPE devices as far as I can tell...

Operators MUST no advertise DNS server IPv6 addresses if they do not work. The fix is simple. I would like to see as much happening over IPv6 as possible, the last thing I really want to see is more happy (happier) eye ball implementations.

This is because it prefers IPv6, does not (yet) ignore unresponsive DNS servers, and has quite high resolver timeouts. One infamous example is a German ISP whose CPE announces an IPv6 address in RDNSS but never responds to queries to that address. Perhaps because no other operating system has a problem in this situation, the ISP has not fixed this, and users have been blaming Android. This is by no means the only case, though. Some of you know who you are :) Future Android releases will likely ignore broken DNS servers. This is unfortunate; we'd hoped that ISPs that provision devices with IPv6 connectivity would be able to ensure that the DNS servers are responsive and that as IPv6 matured this problem would go away. Unfortunately it has not. As Erik said, the way to debug this problem would be to have someone running 6.0.1 on voo to run "adb shell dumpsys connectivity --diag" and open a bug as described at https://source.android.com/source/report-bugs.html .

Most other mobile platforms still prefer the querying of DNS over IPv4 for A/AAAA RR query types.

I will advise the ISP to investigate any DNS issue (such as not returning an error message when requesting a non-existing AAAA) but I wonder why it is linked to that specific Android Marshmallow version. -éric From: <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of "Brzozowski, John Jason" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Sunday 24 April 2016 at 16:01 To: Erik Kline <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: Jeroen Massar <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>, IPv6 Ops list <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Slow WiFi with Android Marshmallow & IPv6? My customers saw this issue at one point. We had issues with DNS over IPv6. Bad DNS and/or network configurations. Once these were fixed, the problems cleared up.

Also if anybody has adb installed they can just try "adb shell dumpsys connectivity --diag" and see what the over-simplified diagnostic output shows.
