And how exactly do you plan on portscanning a /64, something as large as the the IPv4 internet would be if every IP address had another internet NATted behind it? The sparse nature of v6 addressing renders dumb scanning moot.

And every home router I've had for the last 8 years has been v6-capable. (Yamaha RT54i, Yamaha RTX1000, NEC BL172HV)

Actually there IS an analog to jailbreak in android. Some carriers disable the "Unknown Sources" checkbox in Settings -> Applications. The act of re-enabling this is almost exactly the same thing as an iphone jailbreak.

Tell this to the japanese ISPs, most of whom are planning on deploying bind9.7's AAAA-filter (which only returns AAAA records if the recursive dns server gets the query via a v6 connection) for v6-day, which will mitigate most of the interesting breakage scenarios and edge-cases in the name of avoiding customer complaints.

Disclaimer: I work for a VoIP carrier, I was the the process of an eat-our-own-dogfood trial.

On friday the voice/text network was pretty much unusable, but the 3G data network was pretty much business as usual. Between Skype for sending out international SMS on my iphone (Skype, please get going and add this to the android client) and a SIP VoIP client on my android phone I had no problem notifying all my loved ones that I was safe.

I don't know whether I should feel good that VoIP worked so well or that the conventional telephony systems fared so poorly.

Spamhaus doesn't do a whole ISP-level block unless something pretty egregious is happening.

The usual process goes:
1. Complaint to ISP, no response
2. /32 block, more spam, complaint to ISP, no response
3. escalation to block somewhere between /25 and /29 depending on identification of block size, more spam, complaint to ISP, no response
4. escalation to /24, more spam, complaint to ISP, no response
5. escalation to ISP's corporate mail servers - usually something happens at this point when suits notice their own mail getting blocked
6. escalation to ISPs entire allocation

Anything's going to be better than pcie-mini, given the damage that was done to it by Dell and ASUS using the form factor and connector but systematically violating the pinouts.

Even so, the only Cisco certs that really mean anything are the CCIE level ones due to the practical section.

The recommendations have been that end-users get a /64 (a single subnet with 64 bits worth of addresses to work with)

Originally when more subnets were required the recommendations were to allocate a /48 per business customer (65,535 /64 subnets) but that has been since relaxed to /56 (256 subnets) for small businesses.

ipv6 already has an addressing scheme for private networks, Unique Local Addresses.

There's no justification for using that as support for need for nat.

What a disappointment, I saw the title and was thinking DNSSEC key-rollover screwup. THAT would have made for a righteous thread.

Could have probably ended the post there. /proc on linux is and always has been a total cesspool.

Having lived in Japan going on 13 years now, its not that.

The japanese mindset is irrationally afraid of change and after years of crappy UIs they're conditioned to want something similar to the last phone they had.

This is incorrect, you cannot subscribe to a Softbank iPhone plan without the "Packet Full" data option, which is price-capped at about 4400 yen. (Its a sliding scale with both floor/ceiling caps - you have to pay at least 1000 yen and can't get charged over 4400). In practice, every iPhone user pays the 4400 yen price unless all they do is use email.

(Note, tethering is not included in Packet Full)

When a reasonable percentage of the content is actually used this may be true. However USENET works on a flood-fill mechanism, and (in theory) every site has every article sent to it at least once (and sometimes multiple times and duplicates are tossed depending on the feed type).

When under 0.1% of the content is actually then getting touched by an end-user that bandwidth-savings rapidly turns into a bandwidth money-pit.

Only the Giganewses/largest carriers/etc. have a big enough economy of scale that it might being to make sense.
