Linkedin is working with Multi-CDN’s in moving to IPv6

In 2013, Linkedin has started to introduce IPv6 dual stack technology on its production mail servers. Year after that they’ve decided to enable it across all their data centers and CDNs and quickly found out that their CDN partners didn’t have enough IPv6 coverage. In an effort to combat this problem, they’ve introduced more CDN partners in 2016 and they’ve slowly started testing the benefits of IPv6. Most of Linkedin traffic comes from mobile, and IPv6 works better with mobile in terms of performance. They are now starting to remove IPv4 internally on all networks and applications.
