>> only.
>>
>> The dual stack publishing case is an open question that has been discussed
>> between content and access providers.  Measurements published by Google
>> indicate a number of users with IPv6 enabled, routes installed, but the
>> connectivity fails.  In this situation, from the user's perspective, the
>> site is down, and the user will go to the competitor's site (Still "up",
>> IPv4 only).
>>
>> Followup measurements by other parties (Tore Anderson published some data;
>> I've seen private data by other organizations) confirm the scale of the
>> numbers Google has seen.
>>
>> While content providers will continue to do their own measurements
>> (whether publicly or privately), they won't likely be indicating to the
>> "broken" users what fate they are facing or how to fix it.  This is where I
>> hope something like my site can help, in a brand-neutral way.

>> don't fully understand; if you see it pop up, please fill it out with
>> contact details in case I need to ask more questions.  I've seen lots of

I have to agree, this is very useful and I thank the people who thought of
it...
