Does anyone know why German universities are so slow to deploy IPv6? Almost none has their website reachable over IPv6 or IPv6 on their internal network.

- ori_prior 3y agoDepends on the technical expertise of the staff, I guess. My alma mater (FAU Erlangen, https://fau.de https://fau.de ) did have some internal and external IPv6 already back when addresses were still 6bone 3ffe::, 20 years ago. Don't know since when the main website has been IPv6-reachable, but it has definitely been over 10 years.
- Isolus 3y agoMost German universtities have applied at an early stage for a class B network block therefore they have little pressure. When I asked the IT staff at my university years ago, they said that there are still some very old routers without IPv6 support in use. And since everything seems to work with IPv4 for the university administration, there is no money for new ones.
