What did they say when you asked them(Akamai)? I would imagine ipv6 to be included in price not an additional fee. -----Original Message----- From: "Aaron Hopkins" <lists () die net> Sent: 8/18/2014 9:38 AM To: "nanog () nanog org" <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Akamai charges for IPv6 support? Is it normal to bill for IPv6 service as a separate product? I was surprised to hear from from my Akamai rep they they do:
Hi Aaron, We can add the IPV6 service to the contract at an additional cost of $XXX/month. Please let me know if you would like to go ahead with the service and I can create the contract and send it for your review.
I've been working on adding IPv6 support to my current project on my own time, and am now ready to enable it. But as soon as there is a recurring cost associated with IPv6 support, I need to be able to justify it. And I'm afraid that I can't currently explain a benefit of enabling IPv6 for our users. I'll likely end up not doing so while we're still an Akamai customer. It's Akamai's network, so it's their choice. But big players adding friction to enabling IPv6 certainly doesn't seem in everyone's best interests in the long-term. -- Aaron
