What about having an additional page which could only be seen through > IPv6 ? ;-) http://www.ietf.org.sixxs.org http://ops.ietf.org.sixxs.org etc.... or use ipv4.sixxs.org for sites available in ipv6 or ipv6.sixxs.org for sites available in ipv4 only. Works for Google and many other sites too, but hopefully they will have an IPv6 capable version of their selves sooner or later. Not that that helps for the WG case, but it has been noted a number of times. Randy Bush is the person to speak to in this case ;) You might want to ask him nicely. > > However, there should be an IPv6 > > address in the headers of this email. :-) > Yep, I checked ! > > Note I didn't say it would be sent with IPv6 all the way long from me to > all recipients, but it was sent using IPv6 between my laptop (I of > course use an IPv6 compliant mailer) and my mail server, which is > located 50kms from where I work. Unfortunately Cisco PIX's still don't support IPv6 otherwise there would at least be IPv6 in my mailheaders between my mailer ands my relay box... > > > FYI, in my office, we couldn't even get enough IPv4 addresses for > > > all desktop, > > > > Strange. > > Do you know how many IPv4 addresses have been allocated to each > countries in the world ?

Then they should go to APNIC and request addresses, who will give them to them. Just like all other RIR's do. As long as you can show the need for the address space and pay the lir fee you can get them. > I'm quite > lucky to live in Japan, but this is technology-speaking a very highly > developped country, so there are no tradeoff between v4 and v6. > > (we could have received more IPv4 addresses if we where willing to > renumber - which we didn't want).

Google for "top 100 web sites" pick a couple of those lists and check the listed sites for AAAA records, none of them have them, I don't even have to check... :( The latter two, he most likely did by counting the number of peers he has on the AMS-IX and checking the member list of the AMS-IX and doing AAAA lookups of their websites... Also on the AMS-IX a ping6 ff02::[1|2] will give some nice results to who is on that link ;) Greets, Jeroen
