IPv6 Use Said Significantly Up in Relative ButrnNot Absolute Terms Since 2012 World Launch

摘要

IPv6 is making “steady progress, nothing spectacular,” said Alain Fiocco, senior director of Cisco'srnIPv6 program, in an interview. By October, 16 months after the June 2012 world IPv6 launch, the number ofrnaccess networks that managed measurable IPv6 traffic toward the measurers at Google, Facebook and Yahoornhad jumped from 69 to 197, Internet Society Chief Internet Technology Officer Leslie Daigle told us. Thatrn1.5-2 percent of Internet users now use the technology is “significant growth in relative terms” over the pastrnyear, but “in absolute terms it's still 1 in 50,” said Geoff Huston, chief scientist at the Asia Pacific NetworkrnInformation Center. Whether the business case for IPv6 has finally been made remains to be seen, he said.
