Hardware & Technical Straw Poll on IPv6 support

Everything looks good for me

ISP: Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG)
IPv4/6: (Native) Dual-Stack
Beta: No, don't even have Horizons yet

Do consider running those test sites a few times.
I do contract work for Charter and know they have an IPv6 rollout ongoing. Most customers have IPv6 but w/o DNS. Also worth noting that most areas under TWC already have full IPv6 support. TWC + Charter = Spectrum.
Anyway, I failed my first few tests...waited a few minutes and got the results I expected after another test run. I'm not sure why it is intermittent or delayed, leave that to the network engineers, but it seems consistent now that I've had one good test.

That's not strictly an accurate representation though is it, because you only asked for people to respond if they already have IPv6. So I, and probably many others, didn't bother to reply and say we can't get IPv6 (so you can make that 18).
I honestly think this is one of the few times when a poll would be handy
Maybe run one during the Beta.
It kinda shouldn't be, as long as there's intermediate caches so utterly broken as to remove AAAA records.
2nd reply for me
Country: Italy
ISP: Wind infostrada
IPv6: Fully functional
IPv4: Fully functional
Beta: no

Did someone say 2.3 Beta?

My setup is fully IPv6 capable, and my ISP will support IPv6 at some point (their equipment is capable), but right now I am getting IPv4 only. ISP: Northstate. Country: USA
Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 184...
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be NSTELCO - North State Telephone Co., US
No IPv6 address detected [more info]
Good news! Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6.
You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 Internet only. You will not be able to reach IPv6-only sites.
Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites. [more info]
Your readiness score
0/10 for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only

Something about using v6, a home router my by default assign a routed address to a device, but not allow arbitrary incoming communication for security reasons, so a user might still have to open a port or range of ports. To that end, it would be helpful if a v6-enabled version of the game at least very clearly showed the port(s) required to operate, and possibly allowed configuration in a more convenient place than a config file.

I think I can safely say, without breaking any confidences, that v2.3 will have a beta.
Country: Italy
ISP: Fastweb(fiber)
IPv6: fully functional
IPv4: fully functional
Beta: yes
