Xumo and other OTT providers are becoming more stringent as it relates to IPv6 compatibility. Will Wowza fully support this in the near future?
Here’s a requirement:
// IP version 6
Xumo distributes television services to devices that may only be accessible via IPv6. Hosts must resolve via an AAAA IPv6 record. Origin servers and CDNs must respond to both IPv4 and IPv6.
Master Playlists, Media Playlists and content segments can be tested using ready.chair6 dotnet
Hello,
Thanks for bringing this up. We’re aware that platforms like Xumo are starting to require full IPv6 support including AAAA DNS records, dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) access, and the ability to deliver playlists and content segments over IPv6-only networks.
Currently, Wowza does not fully support IPv6 across all services. That said, it’s something our product team is actively looking into. There isn’t a specific timeline yet, but we understand how important this is for OTT delivery, and we’re keeping it on our radar.
Appreciate the feedback and the discussion!
Best regards,
