IPv6 is lovely and awesome and wonderful and I simply must have more of it. :) Right now I’m stuck behind a CGN (two layers of NAT) with IPv4 only on a 3G connection. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that I especially miss it now, even though honestly it depresses me just how much CGN fails to break.
At home my ISP is Andrews and Arnold in the UK who offer native v6 and a single public IPv4. In my opinion any ISP that offers IPv4 service that is anything less than at least one publicly routable IPv4 address is not giving you the Internet and should be done for mis-selling. Sadly the cretins in charge are seriously considering not bothering with IPv6 and maintaining v4 and using CGN, allowing the market to make public v4 available to those who need it most (i.e., gamers, BitTorrent users, terrorists, etc). And the Apple angle? Well, in iOS 9 Apple is making it even easier for devs to test their apps for IPv6 compatibility, by allowing a Mac to be turned into a NAT64 gateway. In this way, app code reliant on IPv4 sockets will disappear. Oh yeah, and did I mention IPv6 support is now mandatory for App Store approval? Awesome! :) Cheers, Sabahattin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
