So i got a new homepage now :) hope they'll keep it up and provide more services with ipv6 (the same is true for any other content provider/website out there)

hrmm, at least ftp.freenet.de has more dns entries, but I also hope they will improve their service! 200ms from Berlin is inacceptable =:)

Tunnelbroker reports an surge in signups: http://tunnelbroker.net/usage/ipv6-google-com-signup-surge.php I'm curious if a similar thing happened here.

If you look at the Growth graph: http://www.sixxs.net/misc/growth/ you notice a peak in march!

Continue encouraging your techie friends to get on to IPv6 any way they can. Put all your cool stuff on IPv6. Soon enough we will have a big enough mass. :)

Google is reachable via IPv6, but it still doesn't index IPv6 sites. That's when things will be cool. I set up a test to see be able to determine if Google is indexing IPv6. I made up two links from my site (which is dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 enabled and has both records): http://www.roysdon.net/ It has a link to an IPv6-only host: http://ipv6.roysdon.net/ This site has a made up word (I just pounded random letters and made it almost look like a real word). I can search Google for this word, and it still doesn't return this site. To make sure I knew that Google was indexing my site, I created a control site which points to an IPv4-only host: http://ipv4.roysdon.net/ This site also has the made up word. If you seach Google for this made up word (I don't want to post it since I want Google only to find it on my site, but it's clear on the site what the word is), it will only return the IPv4 site. While I can understand how they don't want IPv6-only sites returned for the regular IPv4 search engine (as that would make IPv4-only users frustrated), the http://ipv6.google.com/ site should include IPv6-only sites in the index. Anyone at Google listening?

Two suggestions: Add some flags to be able to filter searching. Some flags that would let you return searches that had links that were: ipv4-only (default for now) ipv6-only (possible not the default for a long time, but eventually). dual-stack (search sites that list and return traffic on both A and AAAA). Just like you can do things like site:cisco.com or filetype:pdf How about adding protocol:ipv4 protocol:ipv6 protocol:dualstack or for short: prot:4 prot:6 prot:ds Again, I wonder if anyone from Google's IPv6 team is listening?
