Hi, Ca By:

1)    Re: Ur. Pt. 1) " ... the number is 46% in the USA.  ":    Whoa! Your revised number is even higher. And, I could round it up to 50%! Seriously, please be specific about where are you reading the number that you are reporting? I commented after reading your second reference, because I could not find relevant data from the first one. Is there something hidden there? Please identify.

2)    Re: Ur. Pt. 2): I have to wait for your clarification for Pt. 1) above to proceed with these additional statements.

Regards,

    Dear Ca By:

    1)    It appears that you are reading the Google graph too
    optimistically, or incorrectly. That is, the highest peaks of the
    graph are about 38%. The average of the graph is about 36%. Citing
    "over 40%" from these is a gross exaggeration. In fact, the peaks
    were reached on weekends and holidays due to more residential
    usage, you can clearly see such by zooming into the graph. In
    addition, the graph has been exhibiting an asymptomatic trend ever
    since a few years back. The COVID-19 pushed this graph up a bit
    due to the lock-down and work-from-home factors. Below was an
    analysis pre-pandemic:


Sorry for being imprecise in my communication, the number is 46% in the USA.

    https://circleid.com/posts/20190529_digging_into_ipv6_traffic_to_google_is_28_percent_deployment_limit/

    2)    Since Google is one of the stronger IPv6 promoters, usage of
    IPv6 outside of the Google domain can only be lower, by simple
    logic deduction.


Google’s number represents how many users reach it over ipv6. Given Google’s ubiquity in the usa, it is a fair barometer for the usa at large.  This data is helpful for content providers  estimating demand for ipv6 (46% of users will use ipv6 if it is available)  and for the network operator community to understand where their peers sit.

In summary, there is a lot of ipv6 on the usa internet today. Almost half for Google, per their published numbers. Over 75% end to end ipv6 on some large mobile networks.  Hence my appeal to view published data.

Reading anecdotal Nanog mails from a handful of folks concluding ipv6 has failed will not leave the passive impartial observer with an accurate view.

    Same. And if we don't voluntarily agree to do something to it, it'll
    be the same in 2042, we fucked up and those who come after us pay the
    price of the insane amount of work and cost dual stack causes.

    It is solvable, easily and cheaply, like most problems (energy,
    climate), but not when so many poor leaders participate in decision
    making.

    Ah, the quarterly ipv6 thread? where i remind you all? most of the USA is
    on ipv6 (all your smartphone, many of your home router, a growing amount of
    your clouds [i see you aws])

    https://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/

    Google sees over 40% of their users on ipv6, with superior latency
