How is this a misconception? It works fine for me...
Imagine an operator who is v6 ignorant, with a home provider who implements v6 half-assed, and tries to access a v6 site that has perhaps v6-only accessible nameservers, when their provider who 'offers' v6 has resolvers that operate only over v4.
*huge* misconception about the operational status of IPv6 (imho).
This doesn't prove that IPv6 is not operational. All it proves is people can misconfigure things. If you provide the recursive nameservers with IPv6 access they will make queries over IPv6 even if they only accept queries over IPv4. If you want to know if your resolver talks IPv6 to the world and supports 4096 EDNS UDP messages the following query will tell you. dig edns-v6-ok.isc.org txt Similarly for IPv4. dig edns-v4-ok.isc.org txt Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@isc.org
