I’ve noticed this dual stack problem as well. Delays and IPv6 routes not optimized like IPv4, buffering and general issues as well.
Long page loads as computers and devices search for IPv6 and get ghosted or timed out switching to IPv4. I mean I don’t even think eBay is IPv6 yet, for example. I could be wrong on that, but it seems to always go IPv4 by default and it’s the same on lots of sites still. For a time now I’ve rolled back IPv6 on most my network to reduce the overhead of obscure troubleshooting problems with routers, streaming and device compatibility.

Nate is okay in this regard, but your recursive server *MUST* be on the network the request is coming from. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions<http://www.ics-il.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/googleicon.png]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange<http://www.midwest-ix.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/mdwestix> The Brothers WISP<http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/youtubeicon.png] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> ________________________________ From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com<mailto:af...@kwisp.com>> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 12:04:30 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Tracking Down DualStack Problems Authoritative DNS is under the control of the content provider, it shouldn't matter whose resolver you are using, unless the content provider is using something like anycast DNS which might infer from the IP address of the resolver which A and AAAA records you should see. As long as your DNS server can be correctly geolocated, then still it is the content provider's decision. BGP is a different matter, but for a big CDN, the decision will probably still be made based on where they have servers and who they peer with. If they have servers on Cogent and you are reachable via Cogent, it might not matter if BGP says that Telia would be a better route. But the post was about DNS. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com>> On Behalf Of Nate Burke Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 11:44 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Tracking Down DualStack Problems I have my Own DNS servers, without a full time packet sniffer, how would you ever figure out what actual DNS lookup it did to find the host? Middle of the day, even a less optimal data center shouldn't be at capacity. The Wife said she was watching VUE on a different TV in the house Yesterday afternoon, and it was buffering as well. So It could be Vue and Their IP6 capacity. Still a pain to track down. On 10/10/2018 11:33 AM, Adam Moffett wrote: > I'm going to be pulling the trigger on dual stack pretty soon.
