HAHAHAHA I GET IT!
Actually, there was no pun intended....
Well then, I made it a pun.
I'm with you there, I'd love to see them implement IPv6 as well. Meanwhile, providers can offer tunneled IPv6 but none seem to.
Some do, but they have issues on top of it, and it requires some work on their part. Also many people want UN-tunneled(I forget the exact wordage) IPv6 because tunnels add issues and constraints.
CC got a shitload of IPv4, I think it's in their best interest to delay IPv6 as much as possible.
Native.
That's racist.
I am pretty sure we will beat the 2020 estimate .
Do you have any ETA?
Soon™Eventually™So uhh,
Do any CC-based providers want a /48 of IPv6, and the GRE scripts to "announce" the block onto your infrastructure? Absolutely 0 (yes, zero) of our clients want or need IPv6, so we're thinking of offering it as a remote service (full tunnel, "announced" and SWIPed blocks of IPv6, that can be used on ColoCrossing hardware.)
To top it off, we're announcing the IP addresses out of our 350 E. Cermak location in Chicago, Illinois, United States ; which has a very low latency to ColoCrossing's Buffalo location. Of course, it's not quite native; but it's a better option than expecting your clients to do the HE Tunnel to get 1 Address each.
We would!! Are you charging for this?
Is this actually true? If it is, I wouldn't mind trying you guys again.
Remember, you get what you pay for most of the time.
Would be an interesting experiment to say the least.
How about the 2017 estimate?
Not familiar with a 2017 estimate, but we'll beat that as well.
Before 2015 ends?
You mean so when things break and you go on your customary weeklong vacations the other provider is screwed as well?
No thank you.
If someone wants a Tunnel, well, we have HE.net :-)
Native is the word you are looking for, I think.
It is. Actually, zero of our clients who want IPv6 are OK with "tunneled". The common response is "If I wanted an IPv6 Tunnel, I would've used HE.net's Tunnelbroker."
Exactly.
Even with OpenVZ? Or when it's their own IPs, and not HE's?
I've had issues setting up IPv6 with OpenVZ with some hosts because of missing kernel modules, broken templates, etc.
Indeed, setting up OPENVZ with IPv6 is a pain, I just completely stayed away from it and asked the provider for IPv6 bluntly or told them to give me a KVM.
What if the host provides the tunnel, and just adds the IPv6 to your container? it's still tunneled, but your VM doesn't need to do any special configuration; and would think it's native (with none of the benefits, but still; at least it works.)
See that the thing, most providers want to do a HE.net tunnel, and he.net tunnels don't offer the full abilities native does.
We don't use OpenVZ. XEN and KVM Only. However, OpenVZ and IPv6 don't go so well together, unfortunately. I think Parallels' OpenVZ has the correct modules for IPv6, but not a single LowEnd Provider will use Parallels in their products anyway.
HE.net gives you DNS Delegation which is great. However, keep in mind that you can't use the /64 or the /48 when you're doing VPS since it ties to a single IP. This would work perfectly for Shared Hosting, but not with VPS/Cloud when you assign X amount of IPs per VM. Not to mention you have a limit of 5 subnets when you have an account with them.
Indeed...he has enough problems just keeping DNS online.
