Well, that’s 6man, this is v6ops.  If bad operational procedures are followed, we should highlight those with pointers to the good.  Doesn’t have to name names I suppose.

Perhaps we need to start draft-v6ops-ipv6-dinosaurs and start to name and shame such organisations and what they’re doing wrong… polite but objective critique and pointers in the doc to best practice.

It may produce a better outcome if we instead focus on fixing the gaps in ipv6.

Just got off the phone with a very large ISP after a failed attempt to get an IPv6 address.

Turns out that I can have IPv6 but only dynamic and only if I am on dynamic IPv4. I cannot get IPv6 for my service with static IPv4 addresses.

Seems to me that we are still a long way away from being able to shutter IPv4 completely.

What I have not yet tried but should is trying to use the IPv6 mapping of my IPv4 addresses.
