I don’t think our site supports IPv6 yet fully.
If I were to go to my CTO tomorrow and try to pitch them that this is a priority, what would I tell them? How do I justify this work? Marginally cheaper addresses don’t impact our scale compared to the work cost involved. We are big enough to be mentioned front page NYT at least once a month, but this just doesn’t seem to matter (yet) for us
- Dagger2 5y agoThere are latency benefits, which translate into higher user engagement metrics. If your site sells things or has advertising, that means you get more money. See https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG76/1991/20190610_Howard_Prisoner_Of_Ipv4_v1.pdf https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG76/1991/... / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76XbdedSrww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76XbdedSrww for a talk about that. It shouldn't be much extra work if you roll it into your other admin tasks. Any time you're turning v4 up, turn v6 up too and you'll get there easily enough.
