In reality, this number is close to 45% for IPv6 users, Because Google (and APNIC as a result) see only 128M of Chinese, But China itself reports 528M. We could estimate IPv6 traffic at 30% because different sources show that 70% of the content is available on IPv6 (except China where this number is much smaller!). IMHO: IPv6 has strong adoption in Telco. We could argue: is it a brute force approach from governments or geeks justifying their jobs on OTT's side? Difficult to find a business here. But anyway, it is moving to IPv6. What is important: Enterprises have no clear sign of IPv6 adoption. ND protocol has a heavy influence on this. Of course, ND is not the only reason. But maybe the biggest one.

There is a long tail of sites and networks that are not ipv6-enabled now, and are likely not to ever deploy the protocol, at no particular disadvantage to themselves. Nick
