Earlier quoted context omitted.

I recently had to disable ipv6 because my router started freaking out about "neighbor table overflow". Some kind of issue between Asus and Comcast.

This error is caused by a bug[1] present on outdated versions of Linux (typically exhibited by DD-WRT and Tomato routers) and can also be fixed by upgrading to OpenWRT. Or, if that is not an option, by creating an ip6tables rule: ip6tables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type neighbor-solicitation -i `nvram get wan0_ifname` -d ff02::1:ff00:0/104 -j DROP Or you can experiment with the ARP cache limits: sysc…

I will try that, thanks!

I'd be very interested in knowing how these stats were calculated - 12% of the United States on IPv6 seems a bit high. Maybe what Google is saying is that "It's Available, but we're not saying people are using it." - For example, Comcast has had IPv6 widely deployed for at least a year, so most of their customer might be identified as "Available" - even if their browsers aren't doing a AAAA lookup for www.google.com.

Not in the least. For all their atrocities, Comcast was one of the early IPv6 adopters and has rolled it out to their entire residential customer base (people with older modems/routers that don't support IPv6 obviously won't pull an IPv6 IP address). That's EASILY 11% of US internet traffic.

Just curious, do the internal interfaces on Comcast's IPv6 routers give out V4 or V6 addresses?

I've looked around and I can't find one ISP that "support" ipv6 in Sweden. The big ones alway replies with "We have enough ipv4 addresses for a long time forward, you don't have to worry." I'm not worried, I just want to have ipv6 access.

That is their usual excuse. But its just a bogus answer to shut people up - its not only THEIR customers you want to communicate with.

How much time pressure are we under to replace IP4 with IP6? Is this something that has to be done in 2 years or 10 years?

You are under pressure now.

Carrier grade NAT is a nightmare that ISP's will start going down from now. It will be offered as a cheaper option but in fact it breaks how the Internet was designed to work. Think about your external IP being a 10.x.x.x address and you sharing a public address with 100,000 other subscribers. Thinking about how P2P connections like video conferencing would work.

Push for your servers to have IPv6 by default, push for IPv6 at your work place, push for your DNS provider to support IPv6. Always ask any service providers their IPv6 status.
