Home :: Internet 07 Jun 2012 IPv6 in the wild Internet Although I'm sceptical that IPv6 will have any practical use in e-mail in the forseeable future, it makes plenty of sense for web sites. The web browsers on mobile phones are likely to have direct v6 connections, but NAT or proxies for IPv4, so web sites can work better if they're available on IPv6. Since it makes no difference at all for mail, my advice is to work on v6 for your web sites and forget it for mail. (If you run a large ISP, IPv6 makes sense for internal POP, IMAP, and SUBMIT servers, but if you run a large ISP, you already knew that.) Taking my own advice, this blog has been available via IPv6 for the better part of a year.

This should be an ipV6 comment, but who was your first? (by Chris 07 Jun 2012 05:51) no v6 comment As far as I can tell, nobody's sent in a comment via v6 yet, and most of the v6 traffic is robots checking the RSS feed.
