Yeah. That's a problem. A big problem.

If AT&T and AWS went IPv6 by default, most of the US would convert over quickly.

Comcast and the mobile carriers went ipv6 years ago, that's already something like over half the US endpoints? It hasn't sped adoption (Github STILL isn't ipv6 for git).

Another example, I've been trying to get Georgia Tech to fix their ipv6 linux mirrors for over half a year, they advertise they support ipv6 and publish AAAA records that don't work. http://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/ < check it out.

So yeah, even when it's deployed nobody checks to see if it's still working when ipv4 is fine.


That GTlib issue is frustrating. I've made a ticket -- maybe they'll prioritize a member of the GT community over a random person.


They already had one of the main Gentoo devs email them. Here's my bug report to Gentoo that prompted it: https://bugs.gentoo.org/911751

It's not the only issue it has continued to have.... https://bugs.gentoo.org/585524

I'll continue to follow up here, but it seems like an actual human has read the message this time.

Any word? Why not look up email for one of the staff here https://www.pace.gatech.edu/staff seems like they unfortunately don't check any of the primary emails for the mirror as we've not heard from them in a year or two.

Again, we get it if they have upstream issues not being able to support ipv6, but drop the AAAA records and stop advertising it if that's the case, that's not a big request.


We need google to downrank v4-only sites


c'mon don't be silly


ATT and Comcast both have had perfectly working ipv6 with prefix delegation for years.


AT&T looks to be at ~ 68% already
