Turns out that I can have IPv6 but only dynamic and only if I am on dynamic IPv4. I cannot get IPv6 for my service with static IPv4 addresses. Seems to me that we are still a long way away from being able to shutter IPv4 completely. What I have not yet tried but should is trying to use the IPv6 mapping of my IPv4 addresses. --=_ea4f668a-87da-49b3-909e-e14af5b7a797 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body><div style=3D"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-siz= e: 12pt; color: #000000">yes, some people indicated they use ULA and NAT66 = to their dynamic IPv6 address so they don't have to renumber when they chan= ge providers. sigh!<br><br><hr id=3D"zwchr" data-marker=3D""><div data-mark= er=3D""><b>From: </b>"Phillip Hallam-Baker" <[email protected]><b= r><b>To: </b>"Franck Martin" <[email protected]><br><b>Cc: </b>"= Philipp Tiesel" <[email protected]>, "Nick Buraglio" <buraglio@for= wardingplane.net>, "Xipengxiao" <[email protected]= .org>, "S Moonesamy" <[email protected]>, "witarea" <witarea= @ietf.org>, "ietf" <[email protected]>, "v6ops" <[email protected]>= <br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, June 11, 2026 1:01:57 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: = [Witarea] Re: [v6ops] How to make an elegant IPv4 outage<br></div><br><div = data-marker=3D""><div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"fon= t-size:small">Just got off the phone with a very large ISP after a failed a= ttempt to get an IPv6 address.</div><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"f= ont-size:small"><br></div><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-size:s= mall">Turns out that I can have IPv6 but only dynamic and only if I am on d= ynamic IPv4.
