Yeah, switching off IPv4 certainly educates one quickly. I have that working mostly. My major problem remaining is the lack of SIP gateways that can communicate on 6. SipWithUs is the only one, afaik, and they don't support lnp, and I've had my main phone number for over 22 years so don't want to change that. Currently my asterisk is configured via iptables to accept incoming SIP over IPv4 only from vitelity.net, my gateway service. I also still accept mail, ftp, and web connections on 4. That's it. >From my linode server to machines on my LAN is all 6, thanks to the native /64 block I get from Comcast. My in house SIP phones talk to my linode Asterisk over 6. Works like a charm. There's absolutely no NAT on my LAN, Hallelujah! 6 adoption is moving forward, like it or not. Exhaustation of 4 addresses will drive that. There just aren't any more to be had, except when someone turns one in. MIT is finally dumping some of it's Class A block of 4 addresses, which kept it out of 6 this long. Most people aren't aware how much of their chatter goes over 6 as things stand. Both Windows and Apple default to 6 when they can. If you have a Nest thermostat installed, it's phoning home (to Nest servers) over 6 right through any firewall you might have up.
