How would this work if your upstream router doesn't support v6? All other networks send packets towards you, but your ISP ignores them because they are invalid packets. Then what?
- zadikian 6mo agoIt requires the router to support v6. If you want, could do an approach kinda like "happy eyeballs" where you try both.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoIf the whole path supports ipv6 what is the purpose of the compatibility trick?
- zadikian 6mo agoIf you want to start using v6 before you're sure that every host supports it. But this isn't strictly needed, could just rely on something in DNS telling you the host supports it (I'm not saying AAAA records cause idk if you'd use them in this scheme).
