I'm always happy to see ISPs and content networks step up to support v6. This latest IAB statement shows just how urgent it is for all networks to provide and interconnect openly with v6.
But the statement shows it is now time to be planning the next step and not require or expect v4. https://www.iab.org/2016/11/07/iab-statement-on-ipv6/ Talktalk --- anybody from TalkTalk here? C PS I'm still using v6 tunnels and other v6 gear first configured more than a decade ago and it is pretty stable and cheap. But I accept scale and legacy are both factors that complicate the picture. I have experienced problems with one well regarded v6 provider over FTTH product I ordered for a friend's place over a year ago, turning out to be caused by firmware in their provided router not working well with FTTH infrastructure locally which the vendor appears unwilling to fix. It shows there are a lot of moving pieces with the UK's hybrid network infrastructures which is one reason why I am not a fan of xDSL for IP networks even when it is symmetric. Neil J.
