question: percentage-wise, how many addresses in the IPv6 scheme have we used so far?

• justincormack 13y ago
  0% near enough! In reality it is more complex as the address space is split in two, the bottom 64 bits rarely has any density, only a few devices. End users get a /64 or a /48 (or a few); a VPS will probably get a /64 by default.

    Even counting by percentage of /48 blocks allocated, it's still approximately 0%. There are roughly 40 thousand /48 blocks per person in the world.

      Well that is reassuring. For a second there I thought I read that "3% of the address space was used up" but I knew that couldn't be true. I remember learning about IPV4 back in Computer Science class and having to learn subnets and everything. This seems way more confusing!
