I'm pretty disappointed now,
Searching the ICANN web site I found this:
http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac018.pdf
Does anyone know what's been happening in the wake of that document?
Well:"Additional study and testing is encouraged to continue to assess the impact of including AAAA records in the DNS priming response."
Apparently, this can't be studied enough. This is what I wrote in my book two years ago:
"Since mid-2004, TLD registries may have IPv6 addresses included in the root zone as glue records, and some TLDs allow end users to register IPv6 nameserver addresses for their domains. Many of the root name-servers are alreadyreachable over IPv6 (see http://www.root- servers.org/). ICANN and theroot server operators are proceeding very cautiously, but addition of IPv6 glue records to the root zone is expected in the
not too distant future."At this rate, we'll be fresh out of IPv4 space before anything happens. More study is a waste of time, we all know that all implementations from this century can handle it but a small percentage of all sites is going to have trouble anyway because they have protocol-breaking equipment installed. ICANN should bite the bullet and announce a date for this so we can start beating the firewall admins into submission.
