    Hello Markus,

    On Saturday December 30 2017 16:25, you wrote to Robert Wolfe:

    Yeah, fortunately, however, my ISP, Comcast, offers BOTH IPv4 and
    IPv6 addresses to those of us with Business Class service (which,
    for the past two or so years has been nothing but flawless for
    me). The only drawback is that you can have one or the other and
    not both IPv4 AND IPv6 in use at the same time.

    Educated guess:

    Comcast follows the example of the European daughters of Liberty Global:

    New customers or customers that for some reason get a new modem/router are put on a DS-Lite connection. On request they are downgraded to an IPv4 only connection. Dual Stack is phased out and only available on high end bussiness accounts.

    Interesting. It would be great to get feedback from all regions about IPv4/6 deployment and things to watch out. We have to make sure that
    our network works fine with all the local peculiarities. BTW, we got a dedicated echo for IPv6: IPV6 ;)

    Here in The Netherlands the DSL and fiber providers that offer IPv6 still offer
    Dial Stack. The cable companies are going DS-Lite.


    Cheers, Michiel
