Hello Tim,

On Wednesday March 09 2022 12:55, you wrote to me:

Ten years ago things were different indeed. While IPv6 was introduced over 20
years ago, ten years ago implemenentations were still more or less in the
infant fase and ever so often IPv6 connections would fail for one reason or
another. Mostly because systems advertised IPv6 connectivity but in fact did
not. Nowadays that is rare. And now with DS-Lite connections, IPv4 is the
inferior protocol, so IPv6 should be the preferred connection whenever
possible.

Good. ;-)

OK.

Cheers, Michiel
