As far as I can tell, United Airlines doesn't have any public #IPv6 space.

"United Airlines’ existing infrastructure (AWS routing, monitoring, security policies) is built on IPv4 across hundreds of accounts. However, adopting IPv6 is an organization-wide decision at United Airlines."

@jtk@infosec.exchange So..."we know what the right decision is, but it's harder, so we not only decided to apply yet another kludged hack layer but also wrote a glossy post bragging about that kludge"? I, too, have had to resort to terrible NAT hacks, but my response was a mix of resignation, sadness, shame, and yet more ammunition that I managed to leverage for an actual IPv6 adoption plan, not writing a vendor-collab "use case" post bragging about it?
