Everytime any topic like this comes up with quotes >For IPv6 that minimal value has been bumped up to 1,280 bytes< I get my hopes high to have IPv6 only world.

My ISP Excitel gives only CGN-NAT local 10.x.y.z ip address. I checked their BGP advertisement, and they don't even connect to IPv6.

May that day come soon.

Now that in some countries (Belgium) more than 50% of the internet connections get IPv6 hopefully the rest will follow. It would be about time after two decades :)

Just noticed the other day, I'm now getting an IPv6 allocation from my ISP...
