You described a situation where the outage resulted in 50% of your customers were unable to reach you and you were unable to do anything about it. I don’t think this story is a win for IPv6, regardless of whether your customers blame CloudFlare or not.
- orangeboats 10mo agoCompared to 0% like others? 50% is a very substantial retention rate.
- dpark 10mo agoWould hand been 100% if his site supported ipv4 natively instead of relying on CloudFlare to do the translation. The story here is not “ipv6 made my site resilient to CloudFlare outage”. It’s “50% of my customers can’t reach my site even when I turn off CloudFlare”.

- patmorgan23 10mo agoThis has nothing to do with anything inherent to IPv6 and everything to do with the failure of organizations to timely implement it.
- dpark 10mo agoI didn’t say it was an issue inherent to IPv6. But it is a practical issue with IPv6.
