There is a new poll just on the right side of this post. The new Question i would like to ask you is.. Would you pay extra for IPv6 support? Be it for hardware or software. Perhaps vendor support or SLA options.
So tell me what you would do! The Other option can be used to vote blank, or you can comment here to explain.
Last week, the I root DNS server turned on IPv6. Currently, it's only enabled at the Stockholm node.
Here's a Google Map showing locations of IPv6-enable DNS root servers. Global nodes are in red; local nodes in blue:
Almost all of the DNS roots now have at least some of their nodes IPv6-enabled. Unfortunately, they see very little traffic over IPv6. The H root, for example, sees only about 3% of their traffic over IPv6. This is an improvement over 2008, but it's still depressing.
Five days ago the videos where posted from the Irish IPv6 Summit 2010 which was held on 19th May.
Its nice to see that some IPv6 Task Forces are making IPv6 information accessible to the masses, like hosting summits and making the videos publicly available.
It's here.
It looks like Apple removed any way to turn off IPv6. I've only been poking around the settings for a few minutes, but I don't see a way to disable it. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Apple had more to say about IPv6 support in iOS (that's still weird to type) at their WWDC 2010 conference. The Core Networking talk had an update on IPv6; Video (HD) and Slides (PDF) are available. They encouraged developers to make their apps IPv6-clean. I wonder if Apple will start rejecting IPv4-only apps from their App Store?
They claim to support stateless DHCPv6, but I haven't yet tested this. When I get some more time, I'll test it in an IPv6-only network.

News travels fast these days and just now i got the heads up on twitter that facebook is experimenting with IPv6 connectivity to their website.
www.v6.facebook.com has IPv6 address 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3

Hurricane Electric now offers free DNS hosting. This service provides both native IPv6 and IPv4 authorative nameservice, supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SRV, and PTR records, as well as IPv4 and IPv6 reverse zones.
MONTREAL (May 25, 2010) – gogo6 inc., the leading provider of IPv6 products, community and services, today announced gogoNET (gogoNET.gogo6.com), the social network for IPv6 professionals, has reached over 20,000 members since its launch in December 2009. Upon joining gogoNET members answer a few key questions which when taken together paint an informative picture of the state of IPv6 readiness.

Thinkbroadband called 17 uk broadband service providers a few weeks ago to ask if they supported IPv6 and we were quite surprised by the results to this simple question "Do you support IPv6?"
"Is that a TV channel?"
"I know quite a bit about computers but I've never heard that before."
