    Hello Michiel,

    Here is an example of why IPv6 is taking so long to implement with ISP's in Australia, I beleive it is really growing fast on 5G which is all new equipment. This ISP would probably be the 4th biggest here.

    It could be an interesting add-on for the IPv6 excuse bingo:

    https://ipv6bingo.com/ (Pres refresh fo a new set of excuses)

    But what it really illustrates is a reversal of cause and effect. Everone tries to write perfect software, but we all know that bugfree software is utopia. Some of these bugs emerge in the test fase but unfortunatley it is unavoidable that some ony emerge in in the field. That these bugs only emerge NOW is because the ISPs have been dragging their feet for all these years. They should have started a decade ago and then all these child diseases would have been ironed out five years ago...

    Using it as an excuse for further delay is a lame excuse.


    Cheers, Michiel

    But it does illustrate the situation when one of the world's largest
    networking equipment companies (Cisco) still has bugs in it's firware on why
    it is taking so long.
