Full Version: IPv6 web pages ?
ieXbeta Board > Tech > Internet Cafe & Networking Corner
Dr.Zoidberg
Is there a good list of IPv6 ready web pages ? I know that there is ipv6.google.com and it works fine. But I am wondering how many ipv6 ready web pages are out there.
Chugworth
Does it really matter which web pages are on IPv6? I'm more concerned about which ISPs are on IPv6. When are they going to start changing over? I think the cell phone services are the perfect place to start.
Dr.Zoidberg
I was just wondering about fully enabled ipv6 web pages. There don't appear to be many around on the internet.

Here is a small List

I was just wondering about fully enabled ipv6 web pages. There don't appear to be many around on the internet.

But if a page is "IPv6 enabled," then what benefit does that give to you?
Dr.Zoidberg
On IPv6 Google the logo hops (the letters). It also offers more privacy and better multimedia support.

either comcast isn't ipv6 compatible yet (likely)
or OpenDNS has issues with ipv6 name resolution (likely)

anyone have the ipv6 address for ipv6.google.com? i'd like to give it a shot
Dr.Zoidberg
You need IPv6 address and a PoP to be able to reach ipv6.google.com.
But here is the IPv6 address of google.com

To compare it with google.com on IPv4. I do have a lot of torrent running, but it should lag IPv6 as much it does lag IPv4. As my IPv6 connection is over IPv4 tunnel.

Oh, many things could be affecting the ping time. The only reason why IPv6 would be affecting the ping time is because fewer people are using those routers and servers. biggrin.gif

Besides, once you get to ipv6.google.com, you will notice that most of their links point to www.google.com, which is uses an IPv4 address. There is very little reason for us to care about IPv6 websites until we actually have an IPv6 address ourselves (rather than running through 6to4).

On a Vista computer, try accessing ipv6.google.com when you have a direct connection to the Internet (rather than going through a NAT router). Your ISP is still giving you an IPv4 address, but Vista has 6to4 enabled. This can be done on XP also, but I think you would have to setup the IPv6 protocol first.

ive got a Mac... and a linux server
and dd-wrt running on my router.

i'm pretty sure everything's setup for ipv6, but i get this:
CODE

ping ipv6.google.com
ping: cannot resolve ipv6.google.com: Unknown host


Dr.Zoidberg
Do you have a global IPv6 address ?

Something like this.

CODE
inet6 addr: <ipv6 address>/64 Scope:Global


Local IPv6 address looks like this.

CODE
inet6 addr: <ipv6 address>/64 Scope:Link


If you have only IPv4 address, you need to signup with a PoP like sixxs.net
