IPv6 support on Virgin media
Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?
Forum Discussion
The US federal government many years ago required all subcontractors to support IPv6. It seems that now they're beginning Phase 2 of the plan:
- "US Government Plan to Complete IPv6 Transition"
- https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/fcs0jw/us_government_plan_to_complete_ipv6_transition/
The Reddit post provides a short summary of the milestones involved in US Gov's move to IPv6-only internally.
No surprise at all there, anything else would be future-blind to the point of insanity. IPv4 is like trying to fit the ocean in a thimble, and a broken thimble at that.
although like most people here, I want virgin to hurry up and deliver IPv6, I'd love to know how they intend to deliver it as at some point I'd like to replace my current apu2 pfsense router and I want to make sure that whatever I get supports however virgin will roll out ipv6...
Kinda fancy a UDM/pro for that nice single pane of glass view...
Well, here we are, a hundred pages of messages (and a few days shy of TEN **bleep** YEARS!) in - and, since the SixXS tunnels were
collapsedclose down a few years ( https://www.sixxs.net/sunset/ ) back because they felt a IPv6 tunnel broker was no longer needed (apart from anything was the fact that it might be encouraging ISPs to not bother with IPv6 because the admittedly small proportion of interested end-users desiring IPv6 could be largely fobbed off with a tunnel), I am unable to get to https://loopsofzen.uk/ for fun...IPv6 is the future - and that is where VM seems to want to keep it!
Just popped in to see if there was any updates on this and the answer looks to be a NO. A ten year thread on IPv6 with it still not implemented. Now I know the wheels of industry grind slow but this has got to be classed as stuck in reverse!
- they are too busy with shaping any possibility of using IPv6 like tunnels, they started to shape upload also now.
