Re: Verizon IPv6 LTE

Safari is definitely preferring IPv4.

In a happier note, if you tether a device via hotspot on an IOS6 iPad, the clients get native IPv6. Strangely, they get 
addresses out of the same /64 as the iPad's LTE interface. Anyone know how that is working? I would have thought they 
would use prefix-delegation, and there would be a separate routed /64.

thanks,

ISTR they cache certain timeouts, so if IPv6 was failing before it
may take
awhile for it to become preferred again.



It seems you may be correct.
