Take a No. At least not exactly. That should read : 12.5% of the devices *accessing* *Google* support IPv6 and have access to IPv6 internet, which may be provided by their ISP or via some tunnelbroker. > networks in the world (Comcast, AT&T, KDDI, Verizon Wireless, Time Warner > Cable, SoftBank, Deutsche Telecom, Sky, T-Mobile USA etc etc etc) are > providing IPv6 to their users. I would like to see in detail how things happen to business users. Residential is quite easy. Business users is another story. > > Why is it still allowed to produce IPv4 equipment, like IP cameras? > > Because supporting multiple network protocols in parallel is to > everyone's benefit. And yes: all my IP cameras support IPv6 as well. He probably meant "IPv4-only". > Everybody who invests in IPv4-only equipment these days is not making a > very smart buying decision. There are no laws against stupidity... Because when you buy an IP camera you can be 100% sure that it will support IPv6 before purchase ? Just did the exercice of looking for an IP camera and took the 5 first results (of which 2 from a well-known manufaturer that is supposed to support IPv6 at least in the home router products). 3 of those had no mention of IPv6 (no explicit mention of IPv4 either). The 2 others (from the known manufacturer) had explicit mention of IPv4 and no mention of IPv6. Should we talk about "smart" TVs ? Should we talk of game consoles (especially PS consoles, known to also pose problems with CGN) ? Yes, IPv6 works, but it's not in wide use. The internet is not just only Google, Facebook and Netflix .... That's how things start being complicated.
