Question IPv6 connectivity

Maybe a dumb question. But is tlopo optimized for IPv6 as well?
Just found out that even Steam isn't fully utilizing IPv6 and just announced full implementation and conformance to the IPv6 protocol.

Not sure if this would do anything to improve our online quality with tlopo.
 
IP stands up for Internet Protocol and is a unique identifier between your computer and the server you're trying to establish a connection (let's say PiratesForums.co)
That being said, different versions of this protocol don't necessarily (end-user wise) bring changes that require significant changes and/or optimisation for you to be compatible. As a matter of fact, v6 only exist because of v4's market saturation. IPv4 can only hold a total number of 2^32 unique addresses simultaneously. This is why (among other reasons) IPv6 was invented; To overcome such limitations and replace v4 in the long term. Even up to this day, IPv4 is the dominant used protocol and your eligibility to v6 largely relies on your ISP, meaning that they are either capable of it or not.

Bottom line, if you're able to connect to a website by the use of IPv6, you should be able to connect to any other online service, TLOPO included.

Thank you. From what I read, v6 isn't just an addition of addresses, but also improvements in handling and packet control as well, just on newer techniques and design. If that is true it could stand to reason gamers should benefit in some way.
Correct about isp implementation too. Mine supposedly is some sort of piggy back gating on ipv4 and not a full gateway. Or something to that effect.
