Anyone here getting IPv6 at home? Cox home and business here in OC doesn't support it yet, but they plan to have it rolled out this year.
If you do a traceroute over IPv6 with Comcast they hand it off to Level3 within a few hops and Level3 actually routes correctly compared to Comcast's network which is why it works better.Native IPv6 with Comcast, one of the only things they've done correctly. Routing and speed are generally better too, probably because fewer people use it.
There is a one line configuration adjustment you can make in gai.conf to give IPv4 precedence over IPv6 in a dual stacked network configuration, see: http://www.buntschu.ch/blog/?p=493Setup a IPv6 Tunnel via HE. Added about 100 ms more to Google, in addition I got Google Japan geo-location. Got rid of it.
I want to use IPv6 as a fallback, not as the primary. However, since that can't be done at the router-side (and by that I mean my home router side), I got rid of it and now am stuck with IPv4 again.
No worry though, I use IPv6 on my VPSes and servers for certain networking purposes.
Yeah it'd be nice if this was a linux router. It was a dd-wrt router that just was infuriating for me to configure.There is a one line configuration adjustment you can make in gai.conf to give IPv4 precedence over IPv6 in a dual stacked network configuration, see: http://www.buntschu.ch/blog/?p=493
TL;DR is edit gai.conf to uncomment this line:
#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100
Uncomment it and save and presto it should work. I know because I was dealing with apt-get failings on a dual stack VPS and just did this a week ago
