We now have apple and fb saying ipv6 is faster than ipv4.



If we can onboard Amazon, Netflix, Google and some others, then it is a

Hence, an easy argument to tell your CFO that you need IPv6 for your CDN.

Netflix is already v6 ready. The biggest obstacle is probably aws because
that's where a lot of the long tail of the internet resides. Lobbying them
would get the most bang for the buck.
