alt Hacker NewsEverything I know about IPv6 comes from this one blog post: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810. It’s from 2017, when IPv6 adoption was 17% according to https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html; today it’s close to 50%.

Is that worldwide adoption or adoption in the US? China went from almost nothing to 77% adoption is just a few years because they included it in their last 5-year-plan. How much of that adoption would be explained by China alone

That's the best thing I've read all year. Ok, it's the best thing I've read last year too. I kinda knew all this stuff but I never knew how it all happened. I never thought of MAC as unnecessary in an IPv6 world.
I'd assume a lot of this is because of mobile devices of some type. Getting legacy network operators like cable providers to supply IPv6 has been hell.
