Can we apply for this yet? If I could get IPv6 on my planet machine, I’d take it so that I could communicate out to other IPv6 hosts that I need to speak to. Can we apply for this yet?

Desperately looking for a native IPv6 Web Host and getting nothing but "maybe one day" type answers. Where can a pennyless garage-developer host a miniscule IPv6 site accessible only by about dozen people? My ISP will murder me if I put up a server at home. Thanks Hey Will,

Is this the case? If you're not offering this any time soon, can you recommend a tunnel broker with good connectivity to The Planet's IPv4 network? Thanks Hey Will

Soon, we’ll be adding Verio (maybe Level3) to the mix as well. As our other providers transition to native IPv6 on their backbone networks, we’ll turn up that peering as well. It is my hope that we’ll have the same connectivity for both IPv4 and IPv6 in the next 12-18 months. So the answer is yes - bandwidth and redundancy will be comparable. John -

I agree it's time for deployment. Can you describe you IPv6 peering efforts? I realize latency as observed by the customer is only partially within your control, but will redundancy and bandwidth be comparable for v6 relative to v4? John IPv6 has matured for years.

Look at the difference in sheer numbers: IPv6 /32 = 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 addresses IPv4 /0 = 4,294,967,296 addresses If we were to allocate each server a /96 of IPv6 space, we'd be assigning you the equivalent of the entire IPv4 address space on a single server, and we'd have the ability to number 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 servers with this many IP's. So - the answer is yes - I believe that you'll see more IP's allocated to servers in the IPv6 space. Tommah -

I would venture a guess that you will indeed see more IP’s assigned to each server - primarily because of the subnetting changes with IPv6. Look at the difference in sheer numbers:

IPv6 /32 = 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 addresses
IPv4 /0 = 4,294,967,296 addresses

If we were to allocate each server a /96 of IPv6 space, we’d be assigning you the equivalent of the entire IPv4 address space on a single server, and we’d have the ability to number 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 servers with this many IP’s.

So - the answer is yes - I believe that you’ll see more IP’s allocated to servers in the IPv6 space.

I am enjoying this blog greatly :-). As there are now lots more IP addresses, will we eventually see more assigned to each server, or are they going to be used sparingly to stop them running out again? Tommah Hey Will,
