We are now at that point in the transition to IPv6 when we are hearing some ISPs talk about an IPv6-only service in the near future. But are we really ready? This presentation will report on the ability to send fragmented IPv6 datagrams though today’s IPv6 Internet. We’ll report on the results of a large scale measurement on the success (and failure) of attempting to send fragmented IPv6 DNS packets. The results of this experiment points to a need to reconsider how we should manage the DNS in an all IPv6 Internet.
