I would not be surprised if the breakdown of those users was near 100% for mobile users and less for broadband.

- em-bee 6y agoIoT should be the primary adopter of IPv6. those devices don't need to be able to access every server on the internet, and they only run into problems if they connect to a wifi that doesn't support IPv6 if you disagree, i'd appreciate if you could explain why...
- goalieca 6y agoThe address space of IPv6 can certainly make things like sensor nets ubiquitous. 5G will certainly drive ipv6 more i think.
- halbritt 6y agoI'm familiar with at least one use case. The largest company that builds the NICs for smart meters has its own custom wireless network technology, but on top of that runs IPv6 so that it can communicate with millions of devices.
- avianlyric 6y agoYou're not wrong, but this: > they only run into problems if they connect to a wifi that doesn't support IPv6 is like 99% of the problems IPv6 devices encounter.
- em-bee 6y agothanks. i didn't realize it would be that bad. at least it's a solveable problem, because it's in the customers sphere of influence, whereas getting all websites i am interested in onto IPv6 is not.
- emiliobumachar 6y agoNow I'm confused. Excuse me if I paraphrase your dialogue to illustrate my confusion: em-bee: IPV6 IoT only run into problems if X avianlyric: X is like 99% of the problems IPv6 devices encounter. em-bee: thanks. i didn't realize it would be that bad. What new information did avianlyric bring? Was that not a re-statement of what came before?
- em-bee 6y agothe 99% :-) only running into problems if X implies that X is a small problem. but 99% points out that X is a big problem.
