Re: Netflix NOC? VPN Mismarked?

If we are still talking about Netflix issues, eventually many of the issues
will sort themselves out. As more and more "smart" devices are IPv6
enabled, IPv4 only devices will become rarer and rarer. Thus the CGNAT
pools will be shared by less and less accounts.

Then again... we may run into the issue Apple ran into with the iPads. They
made iPads such that there was no good reason to upgrade. Now 5+ years
later, you have a lot of original iPads running around. Imagine the issues
if EoL'ed  and EoS'ed those iPads.

Do all "smart" TVs and Game consoles fully support IPv6 out of the box?

The number is not non-zero, but it's not worth talking about based on
the small sample I did in 2015.

I'm curious how you conducted this sample. I happened to have set up a
number of Smart TVs at home and for extended family over the past couple of
years. They've all supported IPv6 out of the box. It's not a 'feature' any
of them listed on their feature list. It was just part of their networking.
My home is IPv6 enabled and my TVs are running it just fine.

My personal, purely anecdotal experience is limited to Sony, Samsung, and
LG smart TVs. But that's a much larger than simply 'non-zero' segment of
the smart TV market. And smart TVs as a category aren't all that old.

Which brands are the ones that aren't supporting IPv6?
