Description

The transition of WLCG storage services to dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 is nearing completion. Monitoring of data transfers shows that many are happening today over IPv6 but it is still true that many are not! The agreed endpoint of the WLCG transition to IPv6 remains the deployment of IPv6-only services, thereby removing the complexity and security concerns of operating dual stacks. The HEPiX IPv6 working group is investigating the obstacles to the use of IPv6 in WLCG. This talk will present our recent activities including investigations for the reasons behind the ongoing use of IPv4.
