IPv6 celebrates its 20th birthday by reaching 10 percent deployment (Ars Technica)

RFC 1883, Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification, was published 20 years ago. Ars Technica takes a look at IPv6 adoption. "First the good news. According to Google's statistics, on December 26, the world reached 9.98 percent IPv6 deployment, up from just under 6 percent a year earlier. Google measures IPv6 deployment by having a small fraction of their users execute a Javascript program that tests whether the computer in question can load URLs over IPv6. During weekends, a tenth of Google's users are able to do this, but during weekdays it's less than 8 percent. Apparently more people have IPv6 available at home than at work."
