Re: An idea for boosting IPV6 popularity
said by sporkme  :And I thought it was going to involve free porn... Ironically enough, if you go to »www.sixxs.net/misc/coolstuff/ they list some ipv6 only services. One of those being free high retention usenet servers. There's a wealth of free porn on usenet... or so I've heard.

One of the major problems, as luminaire mentioned, is ISP support. In the USA and Canada this is a problem since few to no ISPs are actually doing anything about it. In Europe and Asia this is a different story, since there are already ISPs providing IPv6 support.
If I could find an ISP in Montreal, Quebec that offered native IPv6 I would consider switching.
Beyond the ISP there is another issue, other than the Apple Airport Extreme, no routers targeted at the home market provide IPv6 support out of the box - I say 'out of the box' since solutions like OpenWRT and SveaSoft offer custom firmwares for some gateway/routers. |

Interesting link regarding the above:

The real question is when your killer app comes what IPv6 network is it going to run over. VERY few North American carriers have fully complete IPv6 networks... Unless you believe that the users clamoring will cause the network to be built... That works really well especially with Bell, Rogers, and other Canadian carriers whose number one concern is customer feedback. This is still an engineering issue, untie the evangelists and let them go back to work on the building and integration of IPv6 networks and your killer app shall come.

| Step number 1) tie up all the IPV6 evengelists and keep them hidden. You know who I mean, the type that does everything except knock on people's doors Saturday mornings.
Step number 2) develope a "must-have killer app" that works best on IPV6
Right now, P2P and multimedia in general is overwhelming servers.
Let's face it, unicast (separate connection and duplicated bandwidth for each viewer) does NOT scale. Attempting a few million simultaneous streams overloads the central servers.
Offloading this onto your ISP (see »Live BitTorrent Streaming Gains in Popularity ) ends up overloading your ISP's servers instead.
The answer is IPV6 multicast. A stream is sent out once, but can be received by everybody who has selected it. There was an unsuccessful attempt to do this in IPV4 ("MBONE"). It "worked" but didn't take off. With the current generation of broadband speeds and faster CPUs, multicast streaming should be a success.
Develope multicast multimedia, and let the word spread to the mainstream media. And the only servers being overloaded will be at forums like this with all the newbies coming in and begging for instructions on how to get on. |
