From the Internet Society's most recent (January 16th 2014) round of IPv6 measurements, here again are the top 100 lists ranked by the two measures of (1) percentage of requests that used
IPv6, and (2) total volume of IPv6 requests.
My past articles on this topic:
* Measurements from December 12th 2013
* Measurements from September 17th 2013
* Measurements from June 6th 2012
ISOC's blog post highlights that Deutsche Telekom, a large German telecommunications carrier, (of which T-Mobile US is a subsidiary*) has been experiencing very substantial IPv6 traffic growth. They've reached a figure of 15.5% of requests composed of IPv6 (to the select set of content providers providing measurement data). In terms of total volume of IPv6 requests, they are in 6th place behind five other large ISPs (See the second ranked list below). Comcast still leads the pack, followed by AT&T, KDDI, Free, and Verizon Wireless.
(*Note: T-Mobile's traffic is counted separately in the measurements from Deutsche Telekom)
Interestingly, while Verizon Wireless has a substantial IPv6 deployment, Verizon FIOS (their fiber-optic landline network) has made no visible progress in IPv6 deployment. Although many people, myself included, have noted this lack of deployment over the years, they were just recently taken sharply to task by folks on the NANOG (North American Network Operators Group) mailing list.
Looking at the rankings by proportion of IPv6 requests from each network, there is a new entry at the top - NYSERNet (a regional R&E network in New York State), coming in at a staggering 99.95%. On the Internet2 IPv6 working group list, I asked Bill Owens of NYSERNet if he wanted to comment. He claims that we shouldn't be too impressed because this is just the small NYSERNet office network and the backbone, with a relatively small population of clients. Regardless, I think it's a noteworthy achievement. As I've mentioned before, a number of universities and other educational organizations still show up prominently in this ranking. Two small american colleges, Gustavus Adolphus in Minnesota at 74.22% and Marist College in upstate New York at 65.77%! And Panamerican University, in Mexico City is at 66.22%.
Penn is slowly inching up at 45%. We'll have IPv6 deployed more extensively on our wireless network pretty soon, at which point I expect our numbers to go up noticeably.
