I recently moved into an area that is served by Spectrum and a local ISP/electric company that is providing fiber internet (100-1000mbs). They haven't run the fiber lines by my house yet (they state they will by the end of the year), but during my communication with them they stated that "IPV6" was in the works. Promising to offer that by the end of the year as well. I just checked some online arin records, and it still shows them as having no ipv6 allocations...
My main complaint with that I spent a large amount of time a year ago deploying ipv6 dual stack on my home network. My router is a debian box with shorewall, so I had to learn what was needed all manually. And now, a year later, I'm not even sure how it works as I've forgotten everything. It took a bit of work to figure out how to get my router/shorewall box to request an ipv6 prefix for each internal interface, and then how all that is handled. And now I don't even know lol
So if this local ISP doesn't offer IPV6, I get to tear all that down and then I guess start over again re-learning in a future date.
- jrockway 8y agoI started learning IPv6 before it was widely deployed and just used Hurricane Electric's tunnel broker: https://tunnelbroker.net/ https://tunnelbroker.net/ I think you can just set one of those up and keep using IPv6 regardless of whether or not your ISP gives you an IPv6 prefix; when they do, just switch over to that.
