Is anyone else shocked at the low level of adoption of IPv6? I remember how in the late 90s people were saying we were going to run out of addresses and everyone need to migrate to IPv6 ASAP. Now, it seems that IPv4 is going to be around for a long while.



US IPv6 adoption is above 50% for mobile networks. Wouldn't call it 'low level'


not shocked.


Keep in mind that we are currently running out of IPv6 addresses.

The slow adoption is pushed by entities that control a big number of IPv4 addresses. I have no idea how long this situation can sustain itself.


Citation needed for both wild statements.
