I was pleased this morning when I through IRC learned that Norway’s largest newspaper have enabled IPv6 at their domain, vg.no. Not that I read VG much, but the fact that there is a push forward with IPv6 in the media sector is great, since it’s only about 8-9 months until there are no more IPv4 addresses left.

Here at work we’re doing lot’s of fun stuff with IPv6, and are currently actively pushing forward with dualstack implementations for our customers.

But today, we end with a delicious traceroute to VG via IPv6:
