7/10   for your IPv4 stability and readiness, when publishers offer both IPv4 and IPv6
0/10   for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only

IPv6 was poorly designed.  There should have been an easier transition build into the entire scheme.

June 8th 2011 is IPv6 Day.

To check your IPv6 connectivity, visit http://test-ipv6.com/

Hmm.  Looks like I'll need to switch the router from tomato to dd-wrt.

@revdisk perhaps, but the pain is unavoidable at this point.  What should we do, wait another 10-20 years for IPv7 to be designed and rolled out?  Technically competent people can get dual-stacks working, even if it's not always trivial.  The OS and embedded router manufacturers dragging their heels deserve most of the blame for the current dual-stack misery.  Maybe some ISPs are running broken DNS servers too, but I wouldn't know.

I'm interested in what the latest official OS/X version gets on that test, out of the box, assuming no ISP IPv6 support and no IPv6 tunnel.

@Ben I assume that's some sort of Windows?  I tested it on an old but up-to-date XP box I have (firefox) and it got the same: 7/10 and 0/10.  I can't check with Win7 because my win7 box gets 10/10 as well (my linux box is offering radvd advertisements for all my "real" computers, including the Win7 box)

Tyme, it was a Win7 box. Got the same results in virtual Ubuntu on another box. Used Firefox both times.

Nope, not at the office nor at home.  We do run IPV6 along with IPV4 internally on most of our networks.  However..  no public IPV6 for us or our clients until the ISPs around here start using it AND our primary firewall vendor acknowledges its existence.
