I glance in 2600 from time to time and came across an interesting article in the latest edition with a rant on IPv6. The article claims that IPv6's growth is being overblown by players with something to gain in the industry. They point out how the world IPv6 launch sites statistics are a bold faced lie and they use an Amsterdam Internet Exchange's growth of IPv6 to contradict these claims.
The article further highlights how worldipv6 references the AMS-IX ipv6 data growth trends, but the author points out that based on historical data they found (not published) from 2013 and 2015, it has risen by a factor of 4 in this time frame. They claim while that type of figure is impressive, the real numbers point out that 2013 utilization was at 0.4% to 1.8% today.
Their overall claim is that based on these calculations, real IPv6 uptake would actually take 298 years for IPv6 to fully penetrate.
What is this author missing? Or do some of you feel there is some validity to this opinion?
