This is an informal survey of what is deployed in terms of IPv6
networks.
Do you use autoconf only, static assignments only, or a mix?
Many thanks to those who responded, although the number of responses was
a bit smaller than I expected.
I think the reason for the small number of responses was that you
never clarified if you were talking about hosts, routers, or both.
Hmmm....
I never received any requests for clarification, so I don't agree that
it was confusing.
Do you know of anyone personally that chose not to answer because of this?
I would not have thought anyone uses autoconfig for routers - the
thought never occurred to me.
As for the poll - I was talking only of hosts.
Most people ignored your poll. For example, on my home network I
statically configure the router and use autoconfig for all the hosts.
It wasn't clear how to answer.
Autoconfig. I'll add your answer to the results. :-)
The result of this is that I don't think you can draw any valid
conclusions from your poll.
Since it is a straw poll, the respondents being self-selecting, the
conclusions are applicable only to the small sample set.
That is why it is a straw poll - it's only a vague litmus test, not
anything meant to be conclusive per se.
If you think you'd get more answers, feel free to do a straw poll
yourself, of course. I'd be interested to see if the results differ
significantly.
