<and so on>

Wireshark confirms that Netflix is now using v6, at least sometimes; on my 
second try v6 seemed sluggish and at some point the connection started 
using v4 instead. There's also some question of whether this is global or 
just in the eastern part of the US. Oh, and they seem to have defaulted to 
an MTU of 1280, which is a little bit disappointing. But we mustn't look 
the v6 gift horse in the mouth ;)

Bill.
