RE: Another Big day for IPv6 - 10% native penetration

Great news and even more impressive is that Canada is the fastest adopter with ~8% IPv6 penetration, growing from 
almost 0.5% to 8% in 3 months!!!.  See http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CA

Telus is making a big difference in Canada as the IPv6 adoption leader @ ~45% IPv6 adoption.

Hint, hint, subliminal message here for all Canadian ISPs, IPv6 works  ;-)

So let's shutdown IPv4 on April 4, 2024 

Bonne Année!

Hi,

    according to Google's statistics
(https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html) on 31st
December
2015 the IPv6 penetration reached 10% for the very first time. Just
a little reminder. On 20th Nov 2012 the number was 1%. In December
we also celebrated the 20th anniversary of IPv6 standardization - RFC
1883.

I'm wondering when we reach another significant milestone - 50% :-)

Tomas
Given the recent doubling growth, and assuming this trend is
following a logistic function, then, rounding the numbers a bit for
neatness, I get:

Jan 2016: 10%
Jan 2017: 20%
Jan 2018: 33%
Jan 2019: 50%
Jan 2020: 67%
Jan 2021: 80%
Jan 2022: 90%

with IPv4 traffic then halving year by year from then on, and IPv4
switch-off (ie. traffic < 1%) around 2027.

Just a reminder, that 10% is a global number.

The number in the USA is 25% today in general, is 37% for mobile devices.

Furthermore, forecasting is a dark art that frequently simply extends
the past onto the future.  It does not account for purposeful
engineering design like the "world IPv6 launch" or iOS updates.

For example, once Apple cleanses the app store of IPv4 apps in 2016 as
they have committed and pushes one of their ubiquitous iOS updates,
you may see substantial jumps over night in IPv6 eyeballs, possibly
meaningful moving that 37% number to over 50% in a few shorts weeks.

This will squarely make it clear that IPv4 is minority legacy protocol
for all of mobile, and thusly the immediate future of the internet.

I for one welcome the iOS update that brings v6 APN native access to my
phone, or at least v4v6 APN setting.

I keep hearing rumors it is "coming soon".

This could have a similar step function in the traffic and graphs.
