Google is seeing 43% IPv6 traffic in the US, 50% in Germany, 35% in Japan, and 17% in Gabon (the most of any African country).
The data seems to support the exact opposite of your assessment.
- jiggawatts 6y agoDon't confuse long-range www traffic with the total number of endpoints. Serving a single page might take dozens or even hundreds of interacting services. Not one of our enterprise customers has IPv6 enabled. Not one of the public clouds we manage have IPv6 addresses on their virtual networks. Meanwhile, putting a CDN in front of an otherwise 100% IPv4 web server will add an IPv6 address whether you like it or not, and that traffic will contribute to those stats you mentioned. This article is about public cloud providers hoarding IPv4, which applies to things like the PaaS and SaaS services, internal APIs, etc... which are nearly 100% IPv4 in all three of the big public cloud providers.
