Please update this IPv6 statistics page! Looks like the info hasn’t been updated since about 2012.

C Willier — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:26:05 +0000

I was just going through the list of ipv6 accessible websites and i don’t think that any of them are. I cant seem to find AAAA records pointing to an IPv6 website leading me to believe no of these website are ipv6 accessible

Thanks

Comment on IANA runs out of IPv4 addresses by Sheryl

Sheryl — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 20:21:34 +0000

Actually, an ISP requesting a /24 does not need to jutsfiy usage beyond saying they are going to multihome. When Rollernet started back in the day we obtained two /24s that way with no questions asked on a usage of less than 1%. A single homed end user would need to jutsfiy usage.We have picked up a few customers directly because of IPv6 support; so far they are only government contractors that have IPv6 requirements i.e. DoD subs.Otherwise we aren’t seeing too much demand for it. We try to push it because it’s one of the few places we can do something our competitors can’t.

A pretty sad state for IPv6 here in NZ. 5 out of 16 ISPs offer IPv6 and one of them only for business services. One (WorldxChange or xnet) say yes they offer static IPv6 address but the routers you get from them are not IPv6 capable (at least their Multi-access MP264 Router “next generation, future proofed router” (www.wxc.co.nz/residential/hardware/residentialgateways/mp264/) which they provide. If you search their site for IPv6 you get “No results were found in Everything matching your query: ‘IPv6′”. I guess the only ones running IPv6 would be those who took part in their trial. How is the state of the other 4 ISPs stating they support IPv6?

The only way to use IPv6 for most users would be a teredo tunnel. It is high time for the ISPs to get their act together and offer true IPv6 connections.

Comment on Tauranga City Council enables IPv6 by Shirley

I have been told that Tauranga City Council have since totally removed all IPV6 from both their internal and external networks, with their ICT manager quoting IPV6 security vulnerabilities.
I am not aware of any such vulnerabilities but maybe Tauranga City Council could comment on this.

Comment on TradeMe travels down IPv6 adoption path by Nick

Nearly 2 years on and still no IPv6 on trademe.co.nz. I guess it’s a low priority for them now.

IPV6 is some 15 years old, linux supports IPV6, windows supports IPV6, my router supports IPV6 and yet my ISP, Snap Internet, cannot offer me a service.

Come on ISPs, get New Zealand on the map.
