IPV6 support for Roku 2021
Let’s finally get Roku IPV6 support. It’s 2021, come on… We need IPV6 Roku. Let’s make it happen. I just need 140 characters, but I’m gonna make sure Roku knows I want IPV6 support.
Last time I checked, there was an AWS dependency, but I believe that's long gone.
As IPv4 exhaustion is now a real thing in North America, some major US ISPs are moving to a (primarily) IPv6 service where IPv4 is "as a service" and by definition slightly degraded compared to v6. If Roku cares that customer experience is going to potentially tank because of that, then IPv6 might be a consideration for the short term... Feel free to reach out if you'd like more info, Roku.
