<div dir="ltr">As I said; I agree tunnels are bad. But inaccessible resources are worse.<div>I also agree that end users shouldn't care about which version of IP they are using, but that is idealism, this is reality; You have to prioritise availability of services over quality and speed of connection. Have you considered 464xlat, rather than the other way around? When I mention tunnels it is with the explicit intent that they should only be used by end-users to solve resource availability during this transition period. In which case I'm in strong preference of 464xlat to support legacy end-user's devices otherwise end-user's legacy devices will be effectively useless. - These are the same end-users that we all agree shouldn't care about which IP version they are using. If we force deprecation of their devices then we are effectively saying that they should care about which version of IP they are using.</div><div><br><div>Again, I'm not saying tunnels are a good thing, but in a few edge cases they are unavoidable and a solution needs to be provided for those affected.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>As for lobbying large content providers to rate limit IPv4 or only offer some features over IPv6, I'm all for it! But I wont support the idea of paying them to do so: First because this would be a breach of net-neutrality, and Secondly if they want to be paid to do it I don't think we could afford their price (Netflix's yearly revenue is approximately 314 times RIPE NCC's yearly revenue).</div></div><div><br></div><div>-Tim</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 10:24 AM, Anthony Somerset <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anthony.somerset@cloudunboxed.net" target="_blank">anthony.somerset@cloudunboxed.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">This sounds like the perfect idea though<div><br></div><div>Lobby the main providers/generators of Internet Bandwidth usage to only support IPv6 on new tech/products - even if only for initial launch phases.</div><div><br></div><div>For example Netflix is starting to do UHD/4k, wouldn’t it be great if we could get them and google and others to only offer 4k/UHD on V6 only for a period of time like 3-6 months or even longer.</div><div><br></div><div>The main challenge which makes this a long shot is that you need all of the major content providers to do it together otherwise none of them will because the consumer is so fickle, they will just switch in a heartbeat</div><div><div>
