"Of course IPv6 is the ultimate long term solution." I feel like this is similar to "We'll have nuclear fusion in the next 30 years." :) However if you look at the graph from google - https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html maybe it'll be here sooner than we think...

Nuclear fusion may be closer than you think too. We've been developing better and better superconductors that could yield more compact and more powerful electromagnets, which is a major bottleneck to making it practical. ITER is huge and fabulously expensive, but it's intended to be more of an experiment/testbed that happens to maybe generate some power. It's not intended to be a practical reactor.

It would be nice if they broke that chart down by AS numbers, as I suspect much of that is the mobile carriers. Here is some data [1] looks like about 27k AS numbers comprise all of the ipv6 usage. I stand corrected, looks like mostly mobile and Amazon for the US and then the rest is several other countries that are primarily using ipv6.

Side note: Try browsing the internet v6-only. It's pretty eye opening.

We've never had practical fusion. We used to have frictionless P2P with talk, ytalk, and similar chat tools. Then NAT came along and ruined everything.

  True story: I was giving a talk on ZeroTier (I'm the original author/founder) at a university. After explaining some of the networking, a student raised his hand and asked me how it could transfer data between devices without a "cloud." This student didn't understand that it was possible for one device to talk to another device directly.
