Interesting as looking at that zoomed in you can clearly see peak and trough playing out that seems to indicate that IPv6 becomes more popular during the weekends! Which would perhaps indicate that uptake and usage is more common with users than businesses users, possibly.
Not sure of exact explanation exactly, but certainly consistent trend upon that graph. Though does bug me when you have time based graphs using time and no indication what TZ the midnight/day cut-off mark used - may be using browser local, may not, you just don't know.
- kstrauser 7y agoThe most common explanation I've heard is that home and mobile networks are adopting IPv6 more quickly than businesses, so you see more v6 traffic on the weekends when people are using their personal connections.
- sliken 7y agoLarge ISPs (in the USA anyways) like Comcast turn on IPv6 by default.
- kstrauser 7y agoAs I write this, I'm on a Comcast connection with IPv6.
- sliken 7y agoMy home has a comcast /60, so I could give every human on earth (call it 8 billion) an IPv4 worth of space (4 billion). I've got a VPS as well with Linode that does IPV6 which makes IPv6 all the more handy. In reality I just have a /64 for untrusted wireless, /64 for trusted wireless, /64 for trusted wired network, and /64 for untrusted wired network. Nice that I can easily get to my OpenGarage widget remotely without having to redirect ports, or depend on some random cloud.
- Zenst 7y agoMyself I use mobile broadband and no IPv6 option at all in any form available. Many ISP's in the UK still don't offer it as an option either. You do find the smaller ones will offer it. But in general, been lacking a push in the UK at consumer level, though that may change over the next few years. https://ipv6-test.com/stats/country/GB https://ipv6-test.com/stats/country/GB
