After Launch Day: Taking Stock of IPv6 Adoption

darthcamaro writes "So how did World IPv6 Launch go? Surprisingly well, according to participants at the event. Google said it has seen 150% growth in IPv6 traffic, Facebook now has 27 million IPv6 users and Akamai is serving 100x more IPv6 traffic. But it's still a 'brocolli' technology. 'I've said in the past that IPv6 is a 'broccoli' technology,' Leslie Daigle, CTO of the Internet Society said. 'I still think it is a tech everybody knows it would be good if we ate more of it but nobody wants to eat it without the cheese sauce.'" Reader SmartAboutThings adds a few data points: "According to Google statistics, Romania leads the way with a 6.55% adoption rate, followed by France with 4.67%. Japan is on the third place so far with 1.57% but it seems here 'users still experience significant reliability or latency issues connecting to IPv6-enabled websites.' In the U.S. and China the users have noticed infrequent issues connecting to the new protocol, but still the adoption rate is 0.93% and 0.58%, respectively."

IPV6 is BROCCOLI!?

What a terrible metaphor. Everyone knows that IPv6 is closer to a Brussels Sprout.

Re:Horrible Analogy

Calling IPv6 broccoli is a horrible analogy. IPv6 is chocolate, vanilla, cake, topped in cheese sauce.

So, it sounds disgusting and nobody wants it? Cheese sauce on cake?

That would explain a lot.

How to eat Kale

[camperdave]

In one pot, put some kale, some olive oil, water, a little salt and pepper, and let simmer on low heat. In another pan, brown up some ground beef, with some chopped onions, green peppers. Add in a can of salsa or crushed tomatos. If desired, some hot sauce or jalapenos can be added. While that's cooking, do up some Kraft Dinner according to the directions on the box. When the KD is ready, add in the ground beef mix, and serve. Throw out the kale.

Note: This recipe works well for broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, spinach, and many others.
