The WHY question

Maybe this can be a thread for this question. Maybe not a why, unless we convince CDNs to make peering on IPv6 compulsory otherwise you cant peer. Why do we need IPv6? It is mandatory to have IPv6 BGP sessions when peering with CDNs like Meta and Google. the question of why not, comes up and people say that NAT with v4 makes it more secure, so that would probably need to be debunked as well. We know it should be the opposite way round where we say “We want IPv6 because we dont want NAT” Other thoughts welcome

Welcome to the IPv6 Action Group

Hi All I didnt know where to start to get the ball rolling but promised everyone (that I can remember speaking to last night) I would mail them. As per the presentation last night (see attached) a basic structure needs to be setup. I would like to suggest we have a quick web call so everyone can do an intro and a Chairperson can be elected. Maybe the first thing to work out a time for the call is decide if people prefer during office hours or after hours or dont mind. If you can reply with which you prefer and if there is a preferred day of the week. On that call can I suggest that the name of the group is decided so it is always referred to with the same name. Also a decision is made on how communications will happen. eg email, telegram, whatsapp, mattermost, discord, etc. Also web calling platform, zoom / jitsi / teams. I purely setup a closed mailing list to keep track of names in this intro stage when people can be added if they would like to contribute and removed if they are unable to contribute. The floor is yours Cheers Don
