Re: Why no IPv6-only day (Was: Protocol-41 is not the only tunneling protocol)
The original organizers of W6D have zero motivation to try such a thing and I can't imagine why they would even consider it for more than a picosecond.
This W6D is about turning v6 on. At some point, many years from now, when everyone has got bored of supporting legacy v4 for a hand full of legacy users there might be a v6 only day where we turn v4 off to test if it can be generally ceased. brandon

Or maybe at some point a year or so from now... display a warning to all users accessing the site over IPv4; reminding them of the need to upgrade their internet connection to IPv6 in order to be able to access new 'premium' content :-) -- -JH

Somebody a few years back was working on "free pr0n over IPv6" as a motivator, whatever happened to that? Or did it just die on the vine due to the immense amount of free pr0n available on IPv4?

They couldn't get enough transit to fully launch the experiment. Owen
