[arin-ppml] IPv6 on the Internet byways (was RE: Draft Policy ARIN-2014-20: Transfer PolicySlowStartand Simplified Needs Verification)

[Keith W. Hare]

To sidetrack a bit on IPv6 support…

I’ve been asking our upstreams about IPv6 support for at least five years. I *think* we are finally to the point that I can get an IPv6 assignment, configure things, start beating on the upstreams to support it and it might actually happen. 

When we got our own ASN and multi-homed the network, one of the upstreams had to do a bit of configuration to be able to support a 32bit ASN.

As for remaining competitive, that assumes there is competition now. We have three fibre networks on the poles in front of our facility. For our area, being able to pick two of three is highly unusual.

Things move a bit slower out here in the backwaters of the information highway.

They are waiting for the Market Demand to pick up which many companies are doing with ipv6, which is why the ipv4 market is heating up in direct relation to ipv4 depletion. Of course I'm stating the obvious.

Regardless of the C in CLEC, if they are not supporting IPv6, and can not articulate to you a plan to do so, it does not sound like they wish to remain Competitive for much longer (at least for IP transport).
