A large majority, would guess 55% to 65%, but no mean all of our network is IPv6 enabled yet. I am cautiously optimistic that we can get to 30% to 40%, maybe more, of or traffic doing IPv6 by this time next year. I'm hoping to have closer to 80% or more of our network with IPv6 enabled by then and for continued growth of IPv6 by content providers.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Actually, you have hit on a point which is valid, but does not make the Internet more attractive to users. There's a lot of torrent traffic on IPv6. I've be curious if you could post aggregated service counters, because besides some DNS and torrent, there's just not much you can do.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, let's talk about what works on v6:</div><div><br></div><div>gmail doesn't work on v6</div><div>google plus is broken on v6</div><div>facebook is broken on v6</div><div>yahoo services are almost entirely broken on v6</div><div>no banks in the US are available in v6</div><div>…etc etc etc.</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>I think the best way for ARIN to do this is to have a low but sustainable and consistent fee structure for IPv6 allocations and assignments.

Giving people money in their hands to deploy v6 might. (or might not)<div><br><div>
