You turn IPv6 on a service at a time. Turn it on for delay tolerent services. e.g. SMTP. Turn it of for services which try different servers quickly. e.g. DNS. Turn it on for the client side. There may be few place to connect to now but the ratio of good to bad will get better as more people turn up IPv6 as a production service on the client side. > Best regards, > -- > Tore Anderson > Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ > Tel: +47 21 54 41 27 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > IETF IPv6 working group mailing list > [email protected] > Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
