I'd be down with that. Gamers will kill for even 1 nanosecond of lower
"ping" :-).


Which has long made me chuckle. It's analogous to the golfers buying things
to "fix your slice!" or "get 10 more yards!" , when the true reason those
things happen is completely your swing. :)

I'm hoping a new device will bring with it renewed vigour :-).

I'm probably being ambitious. Overly.


My guess is that there is no IPv6 support because the backend doesn't
support it.  I've seen this at previous employers where the network was
ready
for IPv6, but back-end applications were lagging.  And that might require
development on a lot of games as well.

Perhaps we should start a rumor: "IPv6 has a lower ping!".  We'll get
thousands of gamers protesting for v6 in front of Sony's HQ :)

Which is quite at odds with a flats screen TV I bought from Sony back in
2015 that supported IPv6 - and this was Sony's own OS, not a 3rd party
one some of their current units ship with. The good ol' silo problem,
perhaps...
