Hi guys,=0D=0A=0D=0ACould really use some feedback here as it's quite diffic=
ult to test IPv6 services given nobody really seems to give much of a toss a=
bout it in the "real world".=0D=0A=0D=0AI work for Absolute Radio in the UK =
(formally Virgin Radio) - a national commercial radio service - and we have =
always been quite keen to support as many platforms and technologies as we c=
an for our online streaming listeners.=0D=0A=0D=0AAs such I want to make sur=
e our own network and infrastructure can be as IPv6 ready as we can. Our ne=
twork has a couple of good transit links for IPv6 including, if I may name c=
heck for a second, Hurricane Electric who have been very supportive of IPv6 =
with us.=0D=0A=0D=0AAnyhoo; I'm relatively happy that our first native IPv6 =
streaming platform is working ok but I'd appreciate it if anyone out there w=
ho is IPv6 enabled would have a go and let me know if there are any issues. =
If you experience buffering or drop-outs it'd be great to receive (off-list=
) a traceroute so I might diagnose.=0D=0A=0D=0AOnly Windows Media at the mom=
ent, but I hope to launch a icecast driven OGG stream soon as well along wit=
h some multicast variants....=0D=0A=0D=0AAddresses are:=0D=0Ahttp://wm-ipv6.=
