Maybe IPv6 traffic will get another boos ...
Maybe IPv6 traffic will get another boost now: for participants in the Google over IPv6 program the records for youtube now have been added:$ host www.youtube.com www.youtube.com is an alias for youtube-ui.l.google.com. youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.100 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.101 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.102 youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::8b youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::8a youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::65 youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::71 youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::64 youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::66Video is streamed from cache servers like:$ host v1.lscache1.c.youtube.com v1.lscache1.c.youtube.com is an alias for v1.lscache1.l.google.com. v1.lscache1.l.google.com has address 82.94.228.144 v1.lscache1.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:4001::10All reachable via IPv6. I'm almost tempted to try to try to play a youtube video via a v6-only connection and see what breaks.
