Well, no, because my point was that whilst these 'big wins' are going on and look great on the APNIC stats, there are still many, many websites hosted on plenty of networks that aren't Youtube/Netflix, a CDN, or Cloudflare. Think Rackspace, OVH, Leaseweb, Savvis, and smaller companies; if they don't manage the site content, nor the DNS records, then you'll probably find that those customers don't have public-facing AAAA records (if any at all) - and thus the proportion of IPv6 will be lessened. The people that need to care about IPv6 now, aren't Network Engineers, and they probably don't work for huge internationals either. They probably don't have any websites big enough for CDNs. We're missing an incentive for these website operators to enable AAAA records. In terms of UKNOF attendee stats, I'm expecting more of a lop-sided IPv6:IPv4 ratio than otherwise might be expected, because - amongst other things - most people won't (shouldn't) be on Netflix or Youtube whilst in the meeting hall. :) -- Tom Hill Network Manager Bytemark Hosting http://www.bytemark.co.uk/ tel. +44 1904 890 890
