[AusNOG] IPv6

[Mark ZZZ Smith]

When was that?
If Google, Facebook, Akamai and Netflix are willing to dual stack their services, it certainly should be safe enough for you to. Minor failure rates over masses of users can cost all of those organisations millions of dollars.

I hosted several sites on dual stack servers for some time, and found that in the end it was better to disable the IPv6.IPv4 is clearly much more reliable than IPv6.ISPs were very slow to fix IPv6 faults.
I think when browsers such as Google chrome start marking http:// sites as insecure,this will put a lot more pressure on hosters to move to https:// for all web sites.https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/marking-http-as-non-secure

If web hosters do not have enough address space it might push them back to IPv6.(I think I'm ok for a while yet).
My point is that while ISP sit around and say that there is no content on IPv6,Content providers are sitting around saying that there is no reliable transport.Classic Chicken and Egg situation.
