Where are you getting that claim from? Google’s page says “users that access Google over IPv6”.
To me the specifically does not say, “could you” reach the servers but “did you”.
- tialaramex 10mo agoMy understanding (for which I can't give you a citation) is that a tiny fraction of Google visitors are randomly chosen to try to reach IPv6 servers and measure what happens. Because of Happy Eyeballs if you measure whether your users did use IPv6 you don't find out whether they could have done so, and so your results will be thrown off by happenstance.
- Dagger2 10mo agoAPNIC's stats check for that. For the US, it makes the difference between 58.74% capable and 57.85% preferring, so it doesn't produce a huge discrepancy.
- dpark 10mo agoI believe your understanding here is incorrect. It doesn’t make sense that Google would claim to measure usage while actually measuring access. I can’t find anything that supports your assertion.
