Today Cloudflare is launching an Automatic IPv6 Gateway. To enable it, sign up for CloudFlare or login to your account and visit your CloudFlare Settings page.

CloudFlare.com > My websites > Settings (pull down menu) > CloudFlare settings

You can choose two options: (FULL) which will enable IPv6 on all subdomains that are CloudFlare Enabled, or (SAFE) which will automatically create specific IPv6-only subdomains (e.g., www.ipv6.yoursite.com). You do not need to change any of your DNS settings. After it is up and running, you can test your IPv6 compatibility and get a badge for your site.

Cloudflare is providing the Automatic IPv6 Gateway for free to all CloudFlare users.

Even as the last few remaining chunks of IPv4 address space are being allocated, many organizations around the world are just now beginning to look at IPv6. And what they’re finding often isn’t pretty: mediocre application support, security issues, and really long addresses that are hard to rattle off. It has been estimated that a significant move toward IPv6 won’t be seen for at least five years, and IPv6 won’t be on par with its predecessor for at least another ten.

    This got some people within the IETF thinking about an alternative to the new protocol. Realizing that the primary goal of IPv6 was to provide an increased address space, they began to reconsider whether an entirely new protocol was really necessary in the first place. Still in its infancy, work is underway on a new IETF draft which ditches IPv6 altogether in favor of a simple extension to its predecessor: IPv4.1.

    Nortel, in bankruptcy, sells IPv4 address block for $7.5 million.

    The March 23 edition of the Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Report has reported that Nortel’s block of 666,624 IPv4′s was sold for $7.5 million – a price of $11.25 per IP address. The buyer of the addresses was Microsoft. More information is in its filing in a Delware bankruptcy court. Now the interesting question becomes, does the price of IPv4s go up or down from here?
