It doesn't matter if even 98% of "the internet" is "on" IPv6. If public websites don't advertise an IPv6 address, every user is still going to use IPv4 to connect to them. All the cloud providers still prioritize IPv4, and usually don't support IPv6 at all until a few years after a new service comes out.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoEntire countries still do not have IPv6. Ukraine for example.

- Sesse__ 3y agoFunny enough, when I measured IPv6 readiness/use in the world for the very first time (2008), Ukraine was on top. IIRC it moved to third as we got more data, but it still was a very surprising result. We found out much later that the reason was that Opera had broken RFC3484 handling and prioritized 6to4 way too high (which skewed the results), and Opera was popular in Ukraine at the time. :-)
- Dagger2 3y agoNAT64 handles the "public v4-only website" use case very well. I run my desktop without v4 today and it works fine. A few websites without v6 aren't a blocker to either deploying v6 or undeploying v4.
