When is IPv6 beginning to matter? When is IPv6 taking off? These are |
|
|
|
|
questions that we debate in the IPv6 community at meetings and online. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
For us, 2020 has already become the year of IPv6. |

For us, 2020 has already become the year of IPv6, even way before it |
|
|
|
|
is ending. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## IPv6 traffic reached more than 33% (1/3) of traffic to Google |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acccording to google |
|
|
|
|
Acccording to google, IPv6 search traffic already exceeds 33%: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recent growth this year is also attributed to people more working |
|
|
|
|
from home, where IPv6 is already more present than in business |
|
|
|
|
connections. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
33% - this is clearly not yet 100%, however it means that every third |
|
|
|
|
search request is made using IPv6. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Some countries passed the 50% IPv6 deployment status |

|
|
[India](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/IN), |

|
[the US](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/US) and |
|
|
|
|
[Malaysa](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/MY) - all of them have |
|
|
|
|
passed the 50% IPv6 deployment mark. **India even surpassed the 70% |
|
|
|
|
mark!** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And [Greece](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/GR) and |
|
|
|
|
[Germany](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/DE) are not far from |
|
|
|
|
passing the 50% mark. |

|
passing the 50% mark (while we in |
|
|
|
|
[Switzerland](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CH) only passed the |
|
|
|
|
40% mark...). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In other words: if you are living or travelling to above countries, |
|
|
|
|
you have a 50% chance of getting IPv6 - and it's growing. |

## IPv6 everywhere |

You might have heard the claims of our CEO, Nico Schottelius, that you |
|
|
|
|
can have IPv6 everywhere. This year at ungleich we released the |
|
|
|
|
[VIIRB](u/products/viirb-ipv6-box/), the world's smallest IPv6 |
|
|
|
|
router. |
|
|

This device is so easy and so small that you really don't have an |
|
|
|
|
excuse for not having IPv6: power it on, plug it into an IPv4 only |
|
|
|
|
network: all devices in your network have IPv6 via autoconfiguration. |

## IPv6 in 2020 |

So in 2020, you can go out, connect yourself anywhere with IPv6, talk |
|
|
|
|
about it to many people and get your software easily up and |
|
|
|
|
running. Oh, and if you think it is just us, we are not the only ones |
|
|
|
|
who think [the attitude towards IPv6 |

changed!](https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/03/ipv4-ipv6-and-a-sudden-change-in-attitude/). |
