And this time I'm confused by Android.. Additionally to below, the tunnel users won't even start using IPv6 as the OS resolves prefer native IPv4 instead. With native IPv6 one is _very_ unlikely to see any difference if there are enough servers available. He might even get better results with it most of the time.
But in principal amounts of users and servers with native IPv6 probably follow the same trend in the long run? -- Markku Miettinen -------- Alkuperäinen viesti -------- Aihe: Re: [Pool] Getting close to 1000 IPv6 servers Lähettäjä: Markku Miettinen <[email protected]> Vastaanottaja: Ask Bjørn Hansen <[email protected]> Kopio: Sad, but true. Still, it's not IPv6 to blame, but more ignorant developers. It's just too easy to leave things as they are than to add somewhat complex networking logic, even that it would improve service level. (Yes it's admitted that biggest mistake with IPv6 was to make it incompatible with IPv4, but that is some 20 year old decision that just needs to be lived with.) And as said. There used to be severe problems with IPv6 reliability, but that's hardly show stopper anymore, as IPv4 is just as unreliable. Other problems are caused mainly by flawed SW and should become visible to get even the laziest developers acting on those. People have had 20 years to get things right by now. Postponing inevitable will just cause new problems here, as seen before in really weird forms of NATs etc. Luckily any new operators will be forced to have infra with IPv6 due to lack of addresses, so inevitable is closing up. Especially in Asia. If the pool would enable IPv6 for everything I'd bet that pretty much no one would even notice at the user level. Even the tunnels work reliably enough for end user NTP needs. (Excluding the zones with very few IPv6 servers of course, which might get to a real problem, but it's no different than having too little severs in general?) -- Markku Miettinen _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
