If you take the 5 top US ISPs and get them to do dual stack IPv6, that's 50 million subscribers in the US only.
I think google and others will notice some serious traffic happening. We're years from the point where any one of them will have more than a tiny fraction of their traffic as IPv6 and that's assuming that all we have to deal with are the known problems.
It took a market share of 10 to 20% of Mozilla for web developers to go back to support ALL browsers. Same for mobile web site a 10% surfing rate got many companies to develop web sites for mobiles.
Not really comparable because in both of those cases users were making a choice, because they perceived some benefit, and hence there was demand to adapt to those new platforms. There is almost 0 demand for IPv6 from consumers and what is there is from the technologists. We don't have a situation where the existing infrastructure doesn't work, it does.
If I recall Comcast and Time Warner are participating in IPv6 day. This should create enough eyeballs to show on web analytics graph and provide the shift that makes nat444 irrelevant.
I wish, but IPv6 day will be much more of a media event than anything else. Keep in mind that none of these things are what I wish only what I believe to be accurate. -- Scott Helms Vice President of Technology ISP Alliance, Inc.
