Often lost in the 'debate' about V6 adoption is that for a 100% native IPv6 experience to work, there are multiple other components that have nothing to do with the network that ALSO have to work correctly. Any issues with these are likely going to cause fallback to v4. It's very difficult to know how much v4 traffic to a website COULD have worked just fine on v6, but didn't, and why it didn't.

It would be nice if IPvFoo showed the bytes and connection/request count. It's going to be a loonnggg time before we can do consumer internet browsing with no v4, until then it's about reducing cost of CGNAT with reduced packets/connections. For twitter, the main site is v4, yea, but abs.twimg.net (Edgecast) and pbs.twimg.net (Fastly) make up the vast majority of the bytes fetched on the site for me and are both v6 now. I don't recall when I last checked but they were still v4-only not too long ago. The other end of it is v6-only servers that don't accept inbound connections. Thos have been hampered IME by github not serving git over v6. Supposedly it's coming soon but so much modern software fetches stuff from Github that that's a major blocker.

Has anyone done a more organized study of say, the top 1 million, and how many still require at least some ipv4 to exist, and those trends over time? -- This song goes out to all the folk that thought Stadia would work:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dtaht_the-mushroom-song-activity-6981366665607352320-FXtz<https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dtaht_the-mushroom-song-activity-6981366665607352320-FXtzDave Täht CEO, TekLibre, LLC
