I live and work in a part of the world which contains a sizable subset of that 60% - i.e., Asia.
I see just about zero IPv6 awareness, much less deployment, except peripherally in Japan and, to an even lesser degree, the RoK.
Japan and South Korea are doing quite well indeed and China has CERNET of course which is doing mostly IPv6. There are some ISPs in various other Asian countries doing IPv6, but I guess indeed that they don't push that much traffic, but counting that is hard to tell anyway.
I see so many other challenges facing so many IPv4 networks in this region that it's inconceivable that they would be deploying IPv6 within the next 2-4 years, or even the foreseeable future.
Can you divulge some of these hurdles? Would be interesting to know what they are running into. Greets, Jeroen
