Hello Tim,

Ten years ago things were different indeed. While IPv6 was introduced over 20 years ago, ten years ago implemenentations were still more or less in the infant fase and ever so often IPv6 connections would fail for one reason or another. Mostly because systems advertised IPv6 connectivity but in fact did not. Nowadays that is rare. And now with DS-Lite connections, IPv4 is the inferior protocol, so IPv6 should be the preferred connection whenever possible.

Good. ;-)

OK.
