I still can't get away from this sensation that no matter how good IPv6 is, the ship has sailed. The inferior but indisputably cheaper technology won out over the technically superior one. VHS vs Betamax. Ethernet over Token Ring.

While progress is slow, it is constant and we're reaching 40% of IPv6 availability in 2022, from pretty much 0% in 2010.
I'm confident we'll get there.

The original RFC came out in 1995, the modern RFC used today in 1998 - almost 25 years ago. When I was in college in 2012 (going through the Cisco NetAcad) they were preaching that our IPv6 future was "just around the corner". I am going on 10 years in network and security now, and I still don't see it. At least in the US, IPv4 is, and will remain, the dominant force. There are many reasons for this, but one of the b…
Anyone running v6 only and bridging to v4 on the edge?

Facebook, Deutche Telecom (Terastream), and other huge players I can't mention because NDA.

Yet, while people keep saying that, ipv6 adoption only goes up every month. I'm having a hard time accepting "the ship has sailed" while my home outbound connections use ipv6 for more and more endpoints.
Sooo, slower than ipv4 61% of the time?

I personally don't understand the holdup... I've seen so many forced upgrades as a consumer, and even more as a technology developer, that it seems like by now some group should be able to pick a cut-over date. (Examples: the 3G shutdown, TurboTax told me that my computer won't be supported next year, VHS tapes no longer being made, ect.)
At Netflix, we found in quite a few networks IPv6 had much better QoE than IPv4. In a limited number of cases, IPv6 was very broken. It was almost always equal or better.
Much smaller POV, but when I was dealing with ISP things in past I've found that on many networks v4 might have a nice, redundant blend while frequently v6 is some mix of HE+something or singlehomed HE, which disappoints me. But then the fact that their ports are basically unused other than for the usual G/YT/FB traffic makes the v6 pretty uncontended.
