>Maybe not in the strict sense, but it kind of has.

>In the enterprises I've worked in the past decade with IPv6 running, at least 75% of the Internet traffic is IPv6.

Nobody cares about those. What matters is if my device has an IPv6 address assigned.

Ok then: most people in the US do. The rest of the world is looking increasingly ipv6 too: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-... India is 71% IPv6 (probably thanks to Jio), China has it in its 5 year plan, Europe is doing well, etc

Wasn’t it mandated for 4G? Or at least 5G?

IIRC LTE had licensing shenanigans which made v6-only cheaper, and 5G doubled down on them

This seems to be the weird dichotomy in these comments. Some people are arguing from the position that is absolutely everywhere and is doing great.

Others are saying since their machine doesn’t show it it’s dead and no one cares.

Is there a term for this? A successful failure? A failed success?

Kind of odd.
