IPv6 Day Has Started

Wonderful. I switched from an hetunnel to native ipv6 on my linode, and it actually reduces latency over the ipv4 connection:

    [~] 0 (jon@snowball2)
    $ ping itchy.jrock.us
    PING itchy.jrock.us (66.228.52.205) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from itchy.jrock.us (66.228.52.205): icmp_req=1 ttl=49 time=59.4 ms

And then with native ipv6:

    [~] 0 (jon@snowball2)
    $ ping6 itchy.jrock.us
    PING itchy.jrock.us(2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe93:50b0) 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe93:50b0: icmp_seq=1 ttl=246 time=36.6 ms

Pretty good!

During one of the last FOSDEMs (fosdem.org) we noticed similar thing - the RTT to google.com was slightly smaller over IPv6 than IPv4.

But it's a mixed bag. All one can conclusively say that the average patient temperature in the hospital is pretty close to normal.
