An interesting report on the adoption of IPv6 by the
Internet at large.
Very interesting indeed! It discusses all those aspects that have slowed down IPv6
adoption.
My ISP (which also hosts our gateway system) was amongst the early adopters and I have
also experimented early, but abandoned it due to the "no benefits and only
problems"
situation. But later, when those were mostly cured, I again enabled IPv6 on my network.
Problems caused by running dual-stack are now rare, but still it does not really have
any benefits. So it is understandable that it is adopted so slowly.
Unfortunately it is not only ISPs that affect it. Our beloved router manufacturer
MikroTik has mostly left IPv6 as an orphan. There is an add-on package with some
basic IPv6 functionality but most of the nice features available everwhere in the system
are only for IPv4. This has held me back to experiment with IPv6 on our section of
AMPRnet, as these routers are widely used.
