There is a lot of jitter in the data, which makes projections using just a few days or even a month unreliable. Looking at 2020 through present, it looks somewhat like draped curtains with peaks around Christmas/New Years and July/August, usually followed by a bit of a slide down, but the year-over-year trend appears to be upward.

My working hypothesis is that businesses and schools are less likely to have IPv6 than home ISPs so when employees and students are on vacation (around Christmas & New Years, and in July and August) they are less likely to access Google services from their employers or school and more likely to access those services at home, swinging the ratio towards higher IPv6 usage. Same thing with weekends off for most employees and students.

Also the lows have been above 40% for the last four weeks. I love the trend!

From what I can tell, for the period of June 10-17, 2003, we went a whole week above 40%.

And, yes, it is nice seeing it in a non-Christmas-New Years week! I love that we still have an upward trend!

@apearson> I’ve tried running my home network with IPv6 only and NAT64 on my edge but more than a couple devices seem to only understand IPv4. I feel like these devices will be the ones that hold back the IPv6 only approach.

One of my two Roku Ultras finally is acquiring an IPv6 address, but no idea if it is doing any streaming with it. The other hasn’t acquired an IPv6 address yet. Even though the two have the same marketing name, they are different internal hardware models. But at least it is a sign that Roku Labs is at least aware that there is something called IPv6!
