RE: [backstage] IPv6 questionnaire
I couldn't tell you what the official BBC position is on IPv6. But it has been an ongoing agenda item for some months at the Online Operations meetings, and we are well aware that we do have to adopt it sooner rather than later. R&D have been doing some work in the area, and there was (and may still be) a frontend server for the news site accessible over pure IPv6. How we transition the public facing infrastructure is still up for discussion (using some kind of proxy, a pure implementation or some hybrid of the two) as we have well over a decade of legacy to consider, which has the potential to behave in all sorts of new and exciting ways when exposed to IP addresses greater than 32 bits long :) -- Gareth Davis | Production Systems Specialist World Service Future Media, Digital Delivery Team - Part of BBC Global News Division * 500NE Bush House, Strand, London, WC2B 4PH * bbcworldservice.com > -Original Message- > From: owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk > [mailto:owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of Mo McRoberts > Sent: 13 August 2010 09:37 > To: BBC Backstage Mailing List > Subject: [backstage] IPv6 questionnaire > > Happy Friday 13th Everybody! > > This month, I'm running a short questionnaire (should only > take a couple of minutes to complete) on IPv6 planning and > adoption in the UK.

I have been pondering that route -- I don't particularly like FOI requests, mind. the staff in that dept are very nice, but they do wield a hefty stick on everyone else, and I don't like making (much) trouble unless there's a pressing reason... we'll see how it goes. some off-the-record gesticulation would probably be easiest to get.

Hi Mo, Your questionnaire doesn't seem to have any provision for people to answer that they are "not doing anything about". To clarify: you only want submissions from people actively considering, deploying or who have deployed? regards Matt PS: I've no idea about what the BBC is or is not doing with regards to IPv6.
