Apologies for starting a new topic, but I couldn't find any current IPv6 discussions - the last news was 12 months or so ago.

So ... basically ... is there any news on native IPv6 for fiber?

Thanks

@dane ... because maybe he knows?

Had a read, but apart from "coming soon" last October, and that I could use a tunnel (I do sometimes use a tunnel), I was hoping for an update on native ipv6.

I've been on-and-off using Sonic's 6RD tunnel, but I always end up with intermittent, subtle latency and jitter issues (esp. with things like Google Meet) that I don't have with native IPv4, so I eventually turn the tunnel off.

I'm anxiously awaiting native IPv6 (preferably with prefix delegation of at least a /60, ideally a /56) so I can stop messing around with tunnels.

IPv6 is a hard requirement for my job; we use it extensively in our software product and I need to be able to test it.

I'm happy to help with any testing, beta, or trial implementations available. I have my own router.

Me too. the tunnels mostly work, but then I occasionally find a site or service has connectivity problems that are difficult to diagnose, and turning off the 6RD tunnel -- or switching to a tunnelbroker.net IPv6 tunnel instead of the Sonic one -- magically fixes it.

Same here. What brought me back to this post today is that the Sonic tunnel fails on a site I need to test for work this morning. It's pretty frustrating.

Native IPv6, please!

It's also a bit frustrating that the Sonic-sold AT&T fiber product has native IPV6, but Sonic's own product still does not.

Only a few more days until @dane said "no IPv6 yet on fiber. It's coming." ... two years ago

There seem to be posts going back to at least 2011 saying that IPV6 was coming soon... Can someone from Sonic please let us know a real timeline and some real milestones?
