As Dav mentioned in his livestream last week, we're starting to experiment with IPv6 support for Elite Dangerous networking.
We can see from Google's stats and elsewhere that IPv6 deployment is growing in many parts of the world, but it would be useful to have some idea of how it's affecting our player base.
I would like info from players who already have an IPv6 connection: Which country are you in? Who is your internet provider? Do you also get a fully functional IPv4 connection (where you can control port mapping with UPNP or manual port-forwarding), or IPv4 via DS-Lite (with Carrier-grade Nat)?
Do you have Beta access? Is there anyone here who is unable to play the game because they have IPv6 only?
Please try to keep this thread on-topic: if you want to talk about general pros and cons of IPv6 and/or moan about service providers, please take it to a different thread!
