@vidister hm, I'm not mathy or awake enough but I wonder, does this actually mean 77% ipv6 or is the mapping weird because of the offset

@io @vidister oh yeah, people are always surprised by the high v6 traffic numbers, but it's actually pretty normal! It's that probability paradox thing where adoption among subscribers is poor and servers are even worse, so the global averages are terrible. But because the highest bandwidth services, the big tech company CDNs, all support v6, if you *do* enable it the far majority of residential traffic will generally be v6 without much work. @wilbur @adorfer I've made my piece with DNS blocking for schools. Teachers/officials want a way to be legally safe and more important: safe from angry parents. Our service had pretty much 100% uptime over the last few years. We had very very few cases of overblocking. The lists come from a commercial service, so it didn't need any work once it was deployed. Sure, there's usually a way to bypass it, but if someone is smart enough to do that, they could also find other ways to watch porn... @tob @IngaLovinde @nota @vidister The average IP version is not 5.77. IP Ivy, who lives in a datacenter and runs IPv1048676, is an outlier and should not have been counted. |
@nota @vidister Hmm unless I'm being stupid this should work out to a fraction of (5.77-4)/(6-4)=0.885 of all traffic being v6
props to whoever is achieving adoption numbers that high, nice!
