Hello Stas,

On Wednesday June 06 2018 11:44, you wrote to me:

I would like to believe that, but unfortunately believing is not one of my strong points.

While IPv6 adoption us steadely rising worldwide ...

https://www.google.com/intl/nl/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption&tab=ipv6-adoption

 ... it is still going slow and if you look at the per country adoption, there are lots of countries where IPv6 is still almost absent.

What also disappoints me is IPv6 adoption in Fidonet. Fidonet sysops used to be pioneers that stood in the front lines for trying out new things, but that pioneer spirit seems to have gone for the most part. Even at the top.

Of the 14 FTSC members 7 have an IPv6 node running. 50%.

Not bad compared tro the ZCs. Only 1 out of 4, 25%.

RCs, 6 out of 33. 5.5%

I did not count the NCs...

 MvdV>>>>  Four R46 IPv6 nodes is a good start.

 SM>>> Yes, but I think that's all.

 MvdV>> Why not? Surely there must be more potential than just four
 MvdV>> nodes?

 SM> Perhaps a 4-6 more. Now R46 have 81 listed IBN nodes and 50 of them

No, that is bad.

 SM> Should I tell that other (dialup) nodes are mostly died long tome ago?

For a long time I have been suspicious of nets showing only or mostly POTS only nodes. I suspect most of those nets are dead.

 SM> Should I say that about the third of IBN nodes is a /node and /0  on a
 SM> same system with one sysop?

It would seem that the R46 nodelist badly needs some cleanup. :-(


Cheers, Michiel
