One interesting observation about IPv6 I've made is that in Europe IPv6 and FTTx seem inversely correlated. For example Spain is one of the leaders in FTTx with 87% of homes covered, but have only 3% IPv6 adoption according to Google. Meanwhile Germany has one of the highest IPv6 adoptions in Europe, 52%, and one of the lowest FTTx coverages (16%). Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Iceland all have 90% FTTx and 10% IPv6. UK, Finland, Belgium, and Netherlands on the other hand seem to be having better IPv6 adoption than FTTx.<p>My guess is that ISPs must have needed to choose if to invest to core network or to last mile, and that is visible here. But at the same time it seems bit weird that you'd in 2020s deploy fancy new fiber networks without IPv6.
It boggles my mind that IPv6 has such a slow roll out (it's been a thing since the early 2000s = twenty years ago).<p>I would have thought that all the major tech companies supported it years ago on all their infrastructures, websites and apps. But there are still a lot of hold outs.<p>What about IPv6 makes it such a chore to become widespread?
Thank you!<p>I know it’s all the rage to say “gee why no v6 yet?”, but that’s a LOT of infrastructure and testing to overhaul…<p>The effort is much appreciated!
We have created perhaps an easier documentation on how to make it all work on your own domain, with many screenshots and such. Here it is: <a href="https://www.orgpad.com/s/cjzpkTRIK_L" rel="nofollow">https://www.orgpad.com/s/cjzpkTRIK_L</a>
