I took a DMOZ[1] dump
What's a DMOZ dump?
DMOZ: http://www.dmoz.org/about.html # The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited # directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global # community of volunteer editors. A DMOZ dump is the complete data set including directory structure, links and descriptions. I've use this source because other lists are either too small or contain a lot of spam.
IPv6 failure rates of 4.3% (TLD) and 6.1% (NS)
What does TLD and NS mean?
TLD: Top Level Domain (e.g. .com, .us. org) NS: Name Server - in this case Domain Name Server (DNS)
43 : broadcast address
?
Sorry, the same error message is also triggered by some firewalls.
Another factor is that with IPv4, you need to be pragmatic, because if you don't, you have no connectivity. With IPv6, you can impose arbitrary restrictions as much as you want, because IPv4 makes sure there is always fallback connectivity anyway.
Maybe, but the most frequently encountered errors were time outs and those usually degrade performance drastically. Thomas
