IPv6 support

[Askarii]

Hello to all,

I haven't been around the forums in such a long time, since everything has been going well with worldline/freephoneline!!

This is not YET an issue, but I believe it should be an ISPs short-term objective: Support IPv6 connectivity and IPv6 only websites

Some of you might be asking yourselves: "what the hell is he talking about?"
To this I'll quote an article which was published today:

IPv6 Day is the day Internet service providers have chosen to test the readiness of the world for IPv6, the new style of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The format has changed dramatically. You may have already seen an address that looks similar to:

10.20.30.40

Now those addresses will be a mixed notation of hexadecimal digits(numbers and letters) separated by colons instead of dots, like this:

200185a3:0000:0000:8a2e7334

Clearly this is a major change. One that requires a wide-scale test for Web sites, mail servers, ISPs, mobile Internet and broadband companies and anyone who makes their living routing data around the Internet. Wednesday, June 8, 2011 is the day people will be testing by using only IPv6 addresses from 0000 to 2359 UTC.

An online service offers IPv6 testing to see if your ISP supports it:

Now that explanations are done, I suggest Freephoneline/Worldline implement IPv6 support/connectivity.

SIP over NAT is already a big problem, with standards that are not really standards. It is a mess. Guess what SIP over IPV6 is? Another mess. I would love to see freephoneline adopt IPv6, but it would be nice to see it work flawlessly. I cannot see that happening anytime soon.

IPv6 is undoubtedly coming for everyone, including ourselves. Unfortunately at this time I do not know what our companies intended roll out plan of IPv6 connectivity is looking like.
