Hi Tim,
Many ISPs will, also, have to buy new equipment. For some of them, at
great expense. They're not going to do that unless they have to. Some
have been avoiding it just because the technicalities of it are a new
nightmare that they don't want to have to deal with (new security
issues, new network configuring, new customer support issues).
I don't know there, but here ISPs are not well known for investing in
human resources. :-( I'd guess some big corporations will really adopt
IPv6 before most ISPs. I just don't think it's time for SMBs to work
(fight) with IPv6, they should wait for product to mature and best
practives to be agreed to.
The interim solution has been to grab back already allocated, but
currently un-used, IPv4 addresses. This solution will be short-lived,
but I haven't seen an predictions for when it'll run out of available
IPv4 addresses. If manufacturers and software programmers don't pull
their fingers out, we'll be faced with even more ISPs subjecting their
clients to NAT.
It seems the first test is very simple,
seeing if there is an AAAA DNS record.
Then there is a second test which I did not understand.
But no site that failed the AAAA test came good in the second.
If there is no IPv6 IP address for something, then there can be no IPv6
type of connection to it.
