IPv6 in 2016
By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
Another year has passed. When we compare the statistics as published
by the end of 2015 with those of today, we see that IPv6 in Fidonet
has grown again. From 39 to 51 nodes.

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
The exponential growth in the previous five years however did not
continue. Until the end of 2015, the number almost doubled every year.
In 2016 we had a mere net increase of 12 nodes. I say "net" because in
2016, not only did we see new IPv6 nodes, we also saw nodes disappear
from the list. Three stopped supporting IPv6, two left Fidonet
altogether.
Another trend we see continue is the move towards native IPv6. In last
year's list we saw 18 nodes with native IPv6 and 21 nodes that used a
tunnel. In today's list we see 33 nodes with native IPv6 and 18 using
a tunnel. Raising the precentge from 46% to 64%.
I myself was one of the lucky ones that upgraded to native IPv6. My
ISP said that they would roll out IPv6 by the end of the year. They
have been saying that for at least five years and nothing happened,
but now they finally seem to get moving. To get it though, I had to
find the one and only model of CPE that they presently support in
combination with IPv6. Their Native IPv6 support is still not
FIDONEWS 34-01 Page 3 2 Jan 2017
official, so it could be gone again tomorrow. I have not cancelled my
tunnel accounts with SixXs and he.net yet.
As for SixXs, they show signs of fatigue. In April 2016 they stopped
honouring requests for new accounts and for existing accounts they
stopped honouring requests for new tunnels and subnets. It does not
look like this is a temporary thing. Their explanation is that it is
time that ISPs start providing native IPv6 for their customers instead
of letting tunnel providers do it for them. I can't argue with that,
but it does leave those depending on their tunnels in the cold. I
would not be surprised if they close down altogether in the not too
distant future. They say there are no plans for complete shutdown yet,
but another writing on the wall is that they refuse to move existing
tunnels tot another POP, when a POP closes down. Thereby effectively
closing that tunnel. The main driving force, Jeroen Massar, shows
signs of getting tired of the project. He is a bit of a personality
that has antagonised many people. But let's not be too hard on him. He
provided a valuable - and free - service for almost 15 years.
The other major tunnel provider - he.net - does not show any signs of
preparing to close shop yet. But since nothing lasts forever, their
free services won't last forever either. Not only do they provide free
tunnels, they also provide an interesting education programme. If you
succesfully complete all the stages of their course you are awarded
the rank of "sage" and get a free T-shirt to show off. I got mine on
the 2nd of July. On my birthday. If I am not mistaken, there are three
other sysops on the Fidonet IPv6 list that have the T-shirt.

What we did not see in 2016 is the coming of nodes that no longer have
a public IPv4 address. Many providers, mostly in Europe and
Australasia are switching to DS-lite. Even in my onw country, The
Netherlands, my own ISP, Ziggo, is now putting new customers on
DS-Lite in the area serviced by the company they recently merged with
and that was formerly known as UPC. DS-Lite means that customers get a
public routable IPv6 prefix, but for IPv4 they will have to make do
with an address or adresses in the RFC-1918 or RFC-6598 range.
Customers not running servers will not be affected very much, but the
unability to run servers from behind a CGNAT will definitely affect
Fidonet. There is little doubt we will see that happen in the future.
Maybe not in 2017, but surely in the years to come.
Happy IPv6 in 2017.

INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.
Notes:
To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
=================================================================
The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project
This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.
You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.
Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
your job, school or whatever.

How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art
Guest Editorial *.gue | Fidonet Current Events *.cur
Fidonet Interviews *.inv | Fidonet Software Reviews *.rev
Fidonet Web Page Reviews *.web | Fidonet Notices *.not

Fidonet's Int. Kitchen *.rec | Poet's Corner *.poe
Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
Best of Fidonet *.bof | Letters to the Editor *.let
If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:
Björn Felten
Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
E-Mail b @ felten dot se
Skype file bfelten
IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
