I work for Akamai and it's worth noting that we also do a ton of work around IPv6: http://www.akamai.com/ipv6

Why did you guys need a /10?

I'd love to know the justification for this too. SSL hosts is the only thing I can think of.

Would be a shame since SNI appeared in browsers ~2007. IE 6 is hardly worth wasting the Internet's last IPv4 space on.

It's needed for Windows XP users regardless of IE version. Whether you care about Windows XP users or not is another question..

Are we terribly concerned about supporting a 13 year old OS that is EOL'd by its manufacturer?

Except... WinXP does not support SNI, so even the latest browsers on XP still fail

No, just IE. Chrome and Firefox work fine.

Ah, apologies, I had it in my head that anything on XP didn't work :)
