Yes... Most people think of everything off the ISP network as "Edge".

So from the CPE outward, is the Edge to most people's thinking.

Your definition of center vs. edge is misplaced compared to everyone else.

This is what created the confusion between us when I first said 99%
of the center was already IPv6 -- If you don't count CPE outwards as
part of the center, then that is a valid statement.

If you count the CPE, etc. as center and only count the very end host
as edge, then, my other statement (that IPv6 deployment in this area
is accelerating) is true.
