Re: Just Thinking (About the Nightmare Transition Ahead)2011-01-23 00:07:21
Hi,
I agree with Brian. What nightmare? It only seems as a nightmare until you don't have it in place. It is not about the transition itself, rather about the conceptual fact. First off all, the common belief is for 0.05% of brokenness (most of it coming from old version of Mac OS X, some from old versions of Opera etc.). Now, that was half a year ago. Is it the same today? Have you noticed that no one has ever said that the service WILL be broken, but rather MIGHT be broken. This is a very important distinction. Also, do you know of any standardized method of measuring it? Have you ever measured the brokenness in IPv4 due to MTU issues or DNS problems? For instance I have quite often encountered issues with my home service provider, that had an overloaded DNS during the peak hours that used to time out on various occasions, and the page would not display until you hit refresh. Is it brokenness? So, really - I believe that to some extent the World IPv6 Day is a first step that proves QA departments are starting being comfortable with the new realities. What is a little hard, is the operations, where you need to watch now for two protocols in the same time, while the feature parity is still an issue. But I would hardly call this a nightmare.
