Just wondering about the data collection, -- why isn't it strictly monotonic over time?
Edit: Answered my own question -- it looks like the data specify access daily, not what I assumed was overall adoption. This does present some interesting patterns, however. For instance, noting that there's a peak weekly on Friday and bottom out on Monday, one might be able to make a conclusion about workplace adoption versus home usage.
- mrb 9y agoYou are absolutely right. Home networks are more IPv6-enabled than company networks!
- syncsynchalt 9y agoMakes sense. I've had home IPv6 via Comcast for at least half a decade, and they're the largest ISP in the US. They are an early adopter and innovator of IPv6, partly because they had more modems in their private network than the number of all possible 10.x addresses.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y ago"Early adopter and innovator" because they started using a technology that was being used by other people for 10 to 15 years before that?!
- syncsynchalt 9y agoYes. As an inventor of CG transition technologies like DS-Lite (RFC 6333), Comcast has really led in building the technologies that were needed for transition in the past decade. I was on 6bone too, but there's a lot of difference between ping6'ing each other over tunnels and rolling out v6 to millions of customers without them noticing.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoI dunno ... I had native IPv6 on DSL ~ 12 years ago. I mean, sure, they have actually developed technology in that area, so maybe innovator is somewhat appropriate, but early adopter?
