I was expecting more than not even 3% IPv6 at AMSIX. I don't call it "significant time" yet. IMHO, it will take a few more years before we get a clear picture. IPv6 will plateau, I just don't think we know where and when yet. Or do we ?
However, if IPv4 and IPv6 grow at the same rate, my interpretation would be that IPv4 use is not declining, thus IPv6 isn't growing, and we should indeed be discussing the current failing of IPv6.
I did not start this thread, but it is time to acknowledge that talks of 100% IPv6 are not something that should be on the table at this time.
ps. Before we venture into a tit-for-tat where we trade pictures of decline (e.g. IXP stats) against pictures of growth (google stats), I'd like to learn more why we see what we see in the current decline graphs.
Do you measure what is happening on private interconnects ? MMR traffic ? I would guess that a good part of the IPv6 traffic is between large players, and that somehow they may have changed their peering scheme ? Michel.
