Good morning,
Currently my nodes only have an ipv4 and no ipv6, I would like to know if adding an ipv6 is advantageous, to have more download.
Thanks
No, the full network is still relying on IPv4.

I’ve actually tried that. Provisioned IPV6, added AAAA records, etc etc for one node about 2 months ago. Satellites are dual stack, so ipv6 clients could chose to talk to the node via ipv6.
From the bird eye view I did not see any perceptible difference in traffic — egres and ingress same as the other, IPv4 only node (approximately same geographic area, perhaps 50 miles difference).
I did not check logs though, so don’t know if anyone actually attempted to connect.
But either way — no reason to bother with ipv6.

As @arrogantrabbit said our software is fully IPv6-capable, and S3-compatible Gateways already using a dual stack, but only small amount of our customers are able to use IPv6, so it’s better to have a dual stack too if it’s already available. At the moment only having at least public IPv4 is mandatory.
