Re: 16 Years with IPv6
#2In San Francisco of all places, neither my home nor my office have IPv6. I wonder at what point the FCC or a similar regulating entity will require IPv6 rollouts (do they even have the power to do that?).
I have Webpass (now owned by Google Fiber) at home and Sonic.net at work.

Webpass doesn't offer IPv6? I've had native from them for a long time in the past.

Googling shows that they have some deployments but at least as far as I can tell from my network settings (and http://ipv6-test.com) I do not have an IPv6 address. Perhaps they never got around to updating my apartment building.

I think some buildings are actually outright cg-natted and the only IP you actually get is v6...

#6I keep wondering what will happen on AWS or Google when available public v4 IPs run out/low... Start charging $15 per address?

Yes. Or some other scheme similar to that, where IPv6 allocations are free but IPv4 costs real money.

#8In Seattle and surrounding areas, Comcast is more or less the only game in town (with Centurylink a distant, distant second) if you're not in one of a dozen high-rise apartment buildings. For all their marketing around 'extensive IPv6 rollout', I've found their deployment to be hideously broken and their support staff deeply ignorant. Been here 3 years, moved once, and it's just terrible. My latest foray into trying to get delegation to work was this past weekend, and I had a Comcast supervisor (in Business class!) tell me that "static anything is not a priority for the vast majority of their customers. You can either have static v4 addresses or v6 connectivity, but not both" after several hours of troubleshooting and 'automatically closed/resolved tickets' with their level 2 support folks. It's one of the more brazen "we dare you to stop being our customer" moves I've certainly been privvy to.
tl; dr - Comcast v6 works great on Business-class until you push a static v4 config, then it just stops responding to DHCPv6 and SLAAC requests. Ignorance and aggravation ensued from Comcast support, at all levels I was able to get ahold of. Being a monopoly is awesome.

Google already charges you for reserved IP's that are not in use in their cloud.

#10Don't forget you can always use IPv6 as there are gates to 6th internet over 4th internet.
After all the words Inter Net mean this technology can work over and between any network, be it Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Token Ring or whatever. And of course it can work over IP of another version.
