IPv6 is faster on Centurylink Fiber than IPv4, by a good 25 to 30ms (eg: local servers will be 2ms to 3ms over IPv6, or 27ms to 33ms via IPv4). This is primarily due to much more open peering policies for IPv6, they peer with Hurricane Electric in Seattle on IPv6 (but not via IPv4), HE has established itself as a critical peer for IPv6 (which benefits me greatly!).
- exikyut 8y agoNot sure if you'll see this, but - maybe you should see if you can find an IPv6 datacenter/hosting provider within short throw (tens to hundreds of miles) of the peering center, and VPN all your traffic! (Hm. Bandwidth costs might throw that idea out the window, but it might be absolutely worth it for gaming - or maybe you could sign up for game server v6 alpha/beta testing, heh)
- StudentStuff 8y agoHeh, I do read most replies. To answer your question, I do VPN some latency sensitive stuff (and the free wifi I offer) to nearby servers as I have a few dozen TB of extra bandwidth included in my $30/month resource pool with 'em.
