As it turns out that IPv6 is already available on ELBs since 2011: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/elastic-load-balancing-ipv6-zone-apex-support-additional-security/ <https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/elastic-load-balancing-ipv6-zone-apex-support-additional-security/>
See other posts… ELB is being phased out and works only with EC2 and classic. As I said, it does not work with modern Amazon VPC.
Official documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/elb-internet-facing-load-balancers.html#internet-facing-ip-addresses <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/elb-internet-facing-load-balancers.html#internet-facing-ip-addresses>
All well and good and equally irrelevant.
Netflix is using it already as per their techblog since 2012: http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/enabling-support-for-ipv6.html <http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/enabling-support-for-ipv6.html>
Yes… This token checkbox effort which doesn’t work unless you are running on old hosts without access to any current storage technologies and face other limitations is available. My statements stand, as far as I am concerned. Owen

So, my point wasn’t that LISP is the only encapsulation that supports IPv6. Indeed, I didn’t even say that. What I said was that their apparent complete inability to do IPv6 makes it unlikely that they are using an IPv6-capable encapsulation system. Thus, it is unlikely they are using LISP. I only referenced LISP because it was specifically mentioned by the poster to whom I was responding. Please try to avoid putting words in my mouth in the future. Owen
