The article in citation 12 was published on a channel called the Nintendo Switch Information Centre (with British spelling). Should this be added to the citation somehow? Glades12 (talk) 16:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Appears the Switch version of the network stack had IPv6 support removed (or perhaps some userspace portion missing). Whatever the case a Nintendo Switch doesn't make use of IPv6 connectivity. I've been trying to find information on whether the Switch 2 OS includes IPv6 support, but no information so far.

I really hope the Switch 2 version includes IPv6 support. Peer-to-peer is now difficult with IPv4, and likely to be near impossible within a few years. 2001:470:8AC4:103:6207:4D4:D7B7:6560 (talk) 01:52, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I can now state the OS version used with the Switch 2 does in fact include IPv6 support. Perhaps there should be a "Differences between Switch and Switch 2" section? I'm rather unsure how to organize that.

Having stated that, perhaps there also needs to be a section "Bugs". Seems having IPv6 connectivity causes issues connecting to 5GHz. Seems it lacks support for IPv6 privacy (choosing temporary addresses and switching between them over time). Also doesn't properly support RDNSS. 2001:470:8AC4:103:6293:104C:A931:EBFD (talk) 03:07, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
