Sadly at the same time in many countries IPv6 is next to non-existent[1]. I follow closely when China will adapt it, since was announced long time ago, but seems no progress since. [1] https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

The three major ISPs in China just deployed IPv6 in most cities, though IPv6 based routing and DNS is still suboptimal. I don't know how Google generate the ipv6 statistics, but in the case of China it may not be very accurate. Most Google services are blocked there.

  I live there and I don't see a change. Other, non-Google counters are also not very optimistic. EDIT: My bad, I just checked today and there are positive changes - all my connections are now IPv6, mobile and fixed line. The IPv6 speed as opposing IPv4 one is very low though...

    which isp do you have? a small local one or one of the three big ones (telecom, unicom or china mobile)?

      China Telecom.

  The statistics are generated based on which protocol is used to access Google, so if Google is blocked it won't show up here.

That chart seems very hopeful to me. Constant linear growth. I expect there will be a tipping point where enough people have it that some smaller sites go v6 only to cut costs and the rest of ISPs are forced to adopt it. My vps provider gives you a $2/month discount if you don't take a v4 address.

  Zooming in: Cubic, not linear, right? (No snark, just curious if I got it right)

    The growth was superlinear until 2018: https://hub.mybinder.org/user/ipython-ipython-in-depth-gq7r1noy/notebooks/binder/ipv6_data.ipynb# https://hub.mybinder.org/user/ipython-ipython-in-depth-gq7r1... Another interesting things I noticed - pretty consistent ipv6 usage spikes on weekends.

      All mobile networks NAT v4 and prefer v6. Many residential networks have v6. Corporate filtered internet is typically v4-egress.
