The center part of the internet is the easiest part of modification for IPv6 and is probably somewhere near 99% complete at this point.
That is a fairy tale once believed by so many infants who thought dual stack were enough.
Just injecting a real-world comment/observation here: I am sitting at home, on my natively IPv6 connected, Comcast-provided residential service. My phone is sitting next to me, connected to VZW's IPv6-capable LTE network. When I go to one of my client sites, they get IPv6 through a HE.net tunnel. Another client site uses AT&T and/or CenturyLink for IPv6 connectivity. *... the list goes on ...* In all cases, IPv6 is alive and well for me. More importantly (even though the last-mile is not ubiquitously IPv6-enabled in all service regions) those five providers have backbones that are 100% up and running, native IPv6 all over the place. So what is the fairy tale?? Am I saying we are all done, and that IPv6 is fully deployed? Of course not, lots of work to do in the enterprise and last-mile areas ... but progress has been noticeable and is accelerating. /TJ
