Now that Skype is only run out of MSFT seems more likely they should be able to add ipv6 support. .... They are no longer a heterogenous p2p signalling andbproxying network, so it would be relatively easy for them to broker / proxy a v6 to v4 call.

What would make Skype special? Xbox.com is: $ host www.xbox.com www.xbox.com is an alias for www.gtm.xbox.com. www.gtm.xbox.com is an alias for msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net. msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has address 87.248.223.190 msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has address 87.248.223.183 msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has IPv6 address 2a02:3d0:630:12:225:90ff:fe05:a46 msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has IPv6 address 2a02:3d0:630:12:225:90ff:fe04:3d1e and that for more than a year already... likely depends on the product group to make that decision and ask yourself, is there any revenue advantage in doing so today, nope still not yet...

Now if they'd do windowsupdate.com, we'd see some real IPv6 traffic (at least once a month ;) Bill.

Unless the customer asks for enabling IPv6, it's not done, as far as I understood Akamai's statements about opt-in. Please correct me if I'm wrong/outdated.

Could be - I have no Windows machines to update, and Microsoft won't even allow me to see the website since I'm not running IE. So I have no idea what the update process looks like, I can only poke at the DNS entries. . . Bill.

Windows Update utilizes CDNs for worldwide distribution of updates and we are partnering with them to enable IPv6 support. Windows 8 will use IPv6, if available, to download Windows Updates so that users always get the best possible connectivity when downloading updates. We are working with CDNs to extend IPv6 support beyond Windows 8. Once that work is complete, even Windows 7 and Windows Vista will automatically use IPv6, where it is available, for connecting to Windows Update.» -- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/06/05/connecting-with-ipv6-in-windows-8.aspx -- -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
