Judging by the weekly cycle having IPv6 at work is more rare than home (weekends are when IPv6 traffic hits its peaks).

Judging by the weekly cycle having IPv6 at work is more rare than home (weekends are when IPv6 traffic hits its peaks).
- bluGill 2y agoSeveral major ISPs in the US rolled out IPv6 years ago, as did some of the big cell phone companies. US businesses generally have enough IPv4 addresses for their needs (though probably running NAT and considering the issues part of their firewall policy). As such there is an uptick on weekends and most people have no clue what is going on down in the bottom (which is a good thing - the average person shouldn't care about anything below OSI layer 7 - their application).
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoYep, at home it's enabled automatically by the ISPs, at work, admins have to turn it on and that means extra work for them.
- colmmacc 2y agoEven at home, many home wifi routers do not have IPv6 enabled, and there are many in-home devices that still don't support it. Google's numbers for IPv6 connections used are significantly (about 40%) lower than the percentage of homes and other locations that have IPv6 enabled by their ISP to their location.
