Hi Shadrack, Having read through the article now (not a knee jerk reaction from my earlier posting). The article does address a key challenge with misconfigured firewalls and broken IPv6 implementations. So yeah - those folks with such problems will experience long waits or timeouts as a result. Its a known issue and part of the Ipv6 day is to measure the magnitude of such issues. Anyone with an IPv6 network that would like to participate on this event - please contact me offlist.

It looks like I might be the first victim of my earlier predictions about the sluggish approach of African Networks not upgrading to IPv6...
Unless yahoo are going onto an IPv6 only network (which beats all logical migration sense) then its less likely to happen. In a dual-stack environment (running both IPv4 and Ipv6 at the same time). service will be delivered based on the source/originating/requesting protocol.
