Well, a lot! Most of the major services (Google, Youtube, Facebook&#8230;) you use every day are IPv6-enabled, so if you are also connecting with IPv6, a lot of your internet traffic will be IPv6! Some of these have been enabled with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldipv6launch.org\/\">World IPv6 Launch Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about the rest of the internet? There are several sources available, with different measuring methods, and we will list some of those here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>APNIC IPv6 usage overview map: <a href=\"https:\/\/stats.labs.apnic.net\/ipv6\/\">https:\/\/stats.labs.apnic.net\/ipv6\/<\/a><\/li><li>APNIC IPv6 usage for Belgium: <a href=\"https:\/\/stats.labs.apnic.net\/ipv6\/BE\">https:\/\/stats.labs.apnic.net\/ipv6\/BE<\/a><\/li><li>IPv6 adoption as seen by Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/ipv6\/statistics.html\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/ipv6\/statistics.html<\/a><\/li><li>IPv6 adoption as seen by content provider Akamai <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akamai.com\/us\/en\/resources\/our-thinking\/state-of-the-internet-report\/state-of-the-internet-ipv6-adoption-visualization.jsp\">https:\/\/www.akamai.com\/us\/en\/resources\/our-thinking\/state-of-the-internet-report\/state-of-the-internet-ipv6-adoption-visualization.jsp<\/a><\/li><li>IPv6 adoption as seen by Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ipv6\/?tab=ipv6_country\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ipv6\/?tab=ipv6_country<\/a><\/li><li>IPv6 adoption as seen by Cisco: <a href=\"https:\/\/6lab.cisco.com\/stats\/\">https:\/\/6lab.cisco.com\/stats\/<\/a><\/li><li>Eric Vyncke&#8217;s IPv6 status page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vyncke.org\/ipv6status\">https:\/\/www.vyncke.org\/ipv6status<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">As you can see when exploring these links, most of the time Belgium is at the top! This is in part thanks to enthusiasts from this group, and a healthy competition between the local Service Providers. Hopefully,  soon all these metrics will show 100%, and we can finally disconnect IPv4&#8230; However, this process will take a while as this requires awareness, training, and equipment replacing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in understanding more about the differences between these statistics, have a look at this article from RIPE comparing some of these results and metrics: <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.ripe.net\/author\/wilhelm\/ipv6-adoption-statistics-a-comparison-of-different-metrics\/\">https:\/\/labs.ripe.net\/author\/wilhelm\/ipv6-adoption-statistics-a-comparison-of-different-metrics\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Exchanging IPv6 deployment experiences and ideas to speed up this transition is exactly the idea behind the IPv6 council, we look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IPv4 \/ IPv6 visits to this page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The widget below displays your IPs along with a realtime measurement of the ratio of IPv4 vs. IPv6 visitors to this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- IPv6-test.com widget BEGIN -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var _ipv6test_widget_style = {\nborder: \"solid 1px #000\",\nfont_size: \"12px\",\nshow_country_flags: true,\nshow_loading_anim: true,\nipv4_label_color: \"#393\",\nipv4_background_color: \"#eee\",\nipv6_label_color: \"#339\",\nipv6_background_color: \"#ddd\",\nstats_position: \"bottom\",\nstats_font_size: \"10px\",\nstats_color: \"#eee\",\nstats_color_v4: \"#beb\",\nstats_color_v6: \"#bbe\",\nstats_background_color: \"#666\"\n}<\/script>\n<div id=\"_ipv6test_widget\" style=\"max-width:30em;display:none\">loading <a href=\"\/\/ipv6-test.com\/\">IPv6 connection test<\/a> &#8230;<\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/ipv6-test.com\/api\/widget.php?domain=referer\" async=\"async\"><\/script>\n<!-- IPv6-test.com widget END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much is IPv6 actually being used in production, today?
