They are either doing IPv4 literals or IPv4-only sockets The IPv4 literal issues is when they do "wget http://192.168.1.1" ... hard coding IPv4 addresses... instead of using an FQDN like "wget http://example.com". Using an FQDN allows the DNS64 to work correctly.I can understand spotify, but don't really understand why waze
Why can you understand Spotify not working on IPv6? Are they known for having a generally shoddy product? Pandora works fine on my IPv6-only NAT64/DNS64 setup. As does Youtube and many other multimedia services. Is Waze much different from Google Maps? Google Maps works great, as does Mapquest on ipv6-only And this is the conversation folks will have...: "Oh... Waze does not work, you should try their competitor it works great" and " I used to use Spotify, then i changed networks and it stopped working... now i use Pandora or Google Music"
would have a problem unless they're doing some sort of rendezvous like protocol that embeds ip addresses. That said, I'd say that the vast majority of apps don't have this sort of problem and will quite unknowingly and correctly work with v6.
Yes, 85% of the Android apps i have tested (sample of over 200) work fine on IPv6-only ... likely due to just good coding practices ... not due to specific IPv6 engineering. CB
