> Apple has a team of at most 12 people working on TCP/IP and IPv6

Do you know who they are and how to reach them? I have filed 3 or 4 bugs with proper reproducers through Apple's feedback assistant over the years and till this day those issues haven't even received a single comment nor any acknowledgement that the report has been read.

Perhaps write it up as an open letter/blog article and link it here??

I prefer just getting those bugs addressed. A lot of times writing these blogs and open letters just brings some attention to the blog/article and the real issue never gets addressed. Plus at least 2 of these would involve me sharing internal details which I prefer doing only through the official bug reporting channels.

If you file something through FA, the advice in the community lately has been to re-file the bug against every beta of the OS and every new version of the OS until it's resolved. If you have any new information at all, re-file the bug with the new version. Apple's bug triage team doesn't route things that are old/ancient/sitting in the system forever. Your bugs probably haven't reached the team yet.

Thank you. I'll try that with one of the bugs and see if it gets any attention and then do it for others.

Post the FB numbers and perhaps some helpful readers may be able to take a look?

I wonder if this will work - buy a couple (even 1 share should do, now that I think of it) shares of apple, write a letter to investor relations saying you're a shareholder, you've found bugs, you've filed them, nothing's been done, this is very disappointing, etc etc

edit: added the stuff within brackets

Based on past experience, trying to leverage acquaintance from conference and meetings into a support case exchange terminates the friendship. So I am sorry but I decline to try and bridge this gap. I really am sorry, it sucks you can't get to the back end engineering staff.
