Yes, there's a long tail. But several of the largest companies hosting those
long-tail websites have also declared IPv6 plans. If you run
www.MomAndPopsBaitAndTackle.com off a virtual server in a mammoth
web hoster, you may never even know that your site is now available over
IPv6.
Set some intermediate goals: 50%, 80%, 93%, 98%, 99.6%.
Do we define penetration by number of hosts reachable by IPv6, or
number of bits passed over IPv6, or number of IPv6 flows?
