[AusNOG] IPv6 excuses

[Michael J. Carmody]

Eyebrows?

I have made it a personal mission in life to NEVER type a IPv6 address by hand.

We are simply using FreeRadius to handle the deployment and DHCPv6-PD work, on top of the IPv4 it was some tangibly annoying configuration while you are unfamiliar with it, but once its up and running and tested, its basically set and forget.

Finding sane CPE was an entirely different odyssey.

As an engineer who just turned on dual-stack for a local residential ISP, we did it “just because”, and to be a good netizen, and for plain old curiousity.

This is awesome.


Aside from a few tens of hours of engineering for build, test and deploy its pretty much cost neutral.

Meets expectations. Did it raise any eyebrows at your end?


I think about 5% of that customers transit is now native IPv6 since the switch over last month.

Between Facebook, Google, Youtube, and Netflix, customers who have negotiated IPv6 addresses will likely be finding that 50%+ of their traffic is IPv6. You get 5% in aggregate because the average is pulled down by customers with CPE which refuses the negotiation.
