IPv6 is way further out thank people think.[1]
Sure, things can work okay server side if you're with a top 10 cloud provider, but support gets abysmal quick as you move further from the top.
[1] I'll define this as "the majority of home users perform the majority of their day to day web actively almost exclusively over IPv6"
- idatum 5y agoIn 2020 when my provider still gave out a /64, I recall (via Ubiquity router stats) at least 60% of our household traffic was IPv6. Not "exclusively", but a majority. Most traffic overall was streaming services. Now I have better service (reliable 1gb fiber) but no IPv6. Once providers are better motivated, I predict a jump. Agree with issue on server cloud provider support though, sadly.
- mariusor 5y agoI think you need to narrow down your definition of "home users" to computer users, as most mobile devices have an ipv6 stack that works pretty well and transparently for their users.
