TL> From a message transfer point of view, IP protocol doesn't matter.
Yeah any speed difference is not going to be significant for Fidonet, that's for sure.
TL> Most people would regard timely delivery as the measure of TL> "efficiency".
MvV> Reliability and stability of the connection is also a factor I'd say.
Yes, I'd agree there, they impact on timely delivery too. :)
TL> If the fastest path goes via IPv4 or even dialup, who cares?
MvV> In the case of dialup: those who's dial up line involves cost, as often MvV> was the case in the POTS only days...
Yes, but if the Internet is really dodgy in some place, it's still an option.
TL> (other than people in this echo ;) ).
MvV> Well, /here/ is where the people in this echo can be found. So most of MvV> the people that read this probably do care. Call me en elitist, but MvV> supporting IPv6 still isn't an automatism. It requires some extra MvV> effort. My guess is that those willing and able to make that extra MvV> effort have a tighter bond to their system than those who do not MvV> bother. On average of course, but my impressiosn is that there are a MvV> lot of nodes that just run on inertia rather than active sysop MvV> involvement. You will find less of those among the members of the IPv6 MvV> club.
Yes, you need to take active steps in a lot of cases, IPv6 may not be automatically enabled in some Fido software (that supports it). Network wise, it depends on your ISP. Mine enables IPv6 by default and all of the routers they provide support IPv6 out of the box, so at the network level it should "just work". Wasn't the case for me, but that's because I added IPv6 before it went into production. It was still a trial service (back in early 2011), and I had to turn it on to enable the trial, once I had a router that was IPv6 capable. That trial service did eventually become the production service I'm on today.
TL> That said, I will encourage IPv6 support where possible, and run IPv6 TL> on all of my systems that support it (which is almost everything).
MvV> Same here. Plus that when adding new links and having to make a choice, MvV> I prefer to link to the IPv6 capable node over linking to the IPv4 only MvV> node.
Me too, I think around 50% of my upstream links have IPv6 here.
