There's a pretty massive bump in IPv6 usage on weekends. I'm assuming this is likely due to residential / mobile IPv6 adoption being higher than commercial adoption?

Even if it is available a lot of companies just don't have the experience with IPv6 and are hesitant to turn it on.

Which BTW sucks when you are trying to test your product on IPv6.

This is our problem. People just don't understand it in the operations team. Our devops guys know it inside out but they have to use the services the operations team hand out which means v4 and shitty hardware.

Yes corporate structure sucks.

The silly thing is that there are several NATs and brick walls in the company which wouldn't need to exist with v6.

I myself am v6 end to end at home. Linode at the head end and Andrews and Arnold at the bottom end.

Does your ISP actually assign you multiple Internet addresses for every device in your home or do you still use NAT?

If you still use NAT, what the heck is the point in using IPv6 at home?

I use the same ISP, you get a /64.

The router does stateless auto config so every machine in the house that does v6 has a static IP. You get a /64
