Re: Big day for IPv6 - 1% native penetration

when the average consumer (real) broadband connection becomes v6
capable, about 40% of the traffic is instantly ipv6, thank you
netflix, facebook, netflix, google, netflix, and netflix. 
'When', or 'if'?  The creeping proliferation of CGNs and the like,
along with your example of TVs and oblique point about the sparsity of
IPv6-enabled content/services/applications, does not necessarily
support the conclusion that wholesale migration within the near- or
medium-terms is inevitable.

sorry if the facts did not support your conclusion.  they do support
mine.  big initial ipv6 traffic bump but long ipv4 tail.
