it was something along the lines of: * Nova did not have IPv6 support when he set up labs * Newer versions of Nova support IPv6 but assume you create the IPv4 and IPv6 networks at the same time --> Therefore there is no reasonable way to add IPv6 support to an existing IPv4-only Nova setup

Hi. Someone claiming to be ARIN's President and CEO John Curran posted the following to Meta-Wiki recently: --- As many folks are aware, the Internet has been a remarkably successful phenomena. One consequence of this success is that the present underlying Internet Protocol (IP version 4, or IPv4) is reaching the deployment limits on the number of devices that can be uniquely addressed. The upper limit is approx 4.3 Billion devices. To allow the Internet to continue to expand, it is now necessary to begin using larger IP addresses for servers, these new addresses are known as IP version 6, or IPv6. It is particularly important for major Internet content providers to make this transition, since new users are now being connected with IPv6 and must go through transition gateways to reach sites which are not using both IPv4 and IPv6. On 6 June 2012, nearly one thousand web sites are permanently turning on IPv6 as part of the Internet Society's "World IPv6 Launch" event. http://www.worldipv6launch.org/ This includes Google, Facebook, and other major providers. Wikipedia has been working on IPv6 support for some time, and it would be good if a commitment to having IPv6 by this date could be made. /John John Curran, President and CEO, ARIN 12.174.51.2 00:37, 22 March 2012 (UTC) --- Source: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Babel&oldid=3588620#T… tion_of_the_Internet_from_IPv4_to_IPv6_.26_Wikipedia_support_for_IPv6 Any thoughts on this from ops?
