Test with IPv4 DNS record
pending
-
|
Fetches an object that has just an A record in DNS. This is expected to use IPv4. IPv6-only users
might still reach this, if their provider has employed a NAT64/DNS64 or proxy solution.

Test with IPv6 DNS record
pending
-
|
Fetches an object that has just an AAAA record in DNS. This is expected to use IPv6. Users not yet on
the IPv6 internet are likely to see this fail. As long as it fails quickly, it will be OK - for now.

Test with IPv6 DNS record + IPv6 DNS server
pending
-
|
Validates that your DNS server is able to reach IPv6-only DNS servers. (Note: This has nothing to do
with you using IPv4 or IPv6 to reach the DNS server; only with what happens *after* you reach your
ISP or Corporate DNS server). If this test passes, it means the DNS server ultimately queried, has
IPv6 connectivity.

|
Test with Dual Stack DNS record
pending
-
|
Tests a hostname that offers both A and AAAA (IPv4 and IPv6) records. This has nothing to do with
whether or not the DNS server has IPv6; any DNS server can look up AAAA records. Instead, this test
is to see if your browser can connect to a server that offers both types of addresses. Hopefully, if
you have both IPv4 and IPv6 installed, IPv6 is prefered, and connects just as fast. If this test
fails or times out, you can expect major problems as publishers start offering their sites on IPv6.

Test IPv4 without DNS
pending
-
|
This will try connecting with a literal IPv4 numeric address. This should work for most people,
unless they are running IPv6-only. If the first test worked, but this fails, it likely confirms your
provider is using NAT64/DNS64; you'll need to only try connecting using hostnames instead of numeric
IP addresses.

Test IPv6 without DNS
pending
-
|
This will try connecting with a literal IPv6 hexadecimal address. The primary purpose of this test is
to separate out your connectivity on IPv6 from your ability to fetch DNS for it.

|
Test IPv6 large packet
pending
-
|
Validate that a request for something bigger than 1500 bytes works. The request itself is > 1500
bytes; and so is the response. In the event that a portion of your IPv6 traffic travels over a tunnel
that uses IPv4, and in the event that tunnel sends a packet that is too large, your host won't be
properly notified to send/receive smaller packets. This test does not fully test for pmtud
issues.

Nothing terribly wrong was detected. However, if you would like to contact me, feel free to fill out this form. I'll get a copy of your test results along with whatever other information you're willing to offer.
All fields are optional; but the more information you are willing to provide, the better I can both make this web site as well as better understand the challenges ahead for the world to move to IPv6.
Thanks,
Jason Fesler <jfesler@gigo.com>
