IPv6 may briefly have accounted for more than half of internet traffic

"According to Google statistics, IPv6 briefly accounted for 50.1% of the internet traffic Google sees on March 28, indicating a significant milestone in its adoption."

"Cloudflare tracked IPv6 usage at a high of 43 percent, while APNIC registered that 43.13% of network hosts across the world were IPv6 capable, showing a discrepancy in reported usage."

IPv6 adoption has been gradual since its ratification in 1998, with traffic not surpassing 5% until 2014. Recent statistics show a significant increase, with Google reporting IPv6 accounting for 50.1% of its internet traffic on March 28. However, other sources like Cloudflare and APNIC Labs indicate lower figures, with Cloudflare reporting a peak of 43% and APNIC noting 43.13% of global network hosts being IPv6 capable, suggesting that while growth is evident, it may not be as widespread as initially thought.
