IPv6 in 2025: Quo Vadis?
summary
IPv6 adoption sits around 40% globally in late 2024 with a linear projection to 100% by 2045, but real-world signals complicate that math: Google shows 49.84% Google measurement for end‑user IPv6, Wikimedia’s infrastructure is IPv6 since 2012 and runs ~2,000 machines, Kubernetes networking moved from custom Calico setups to native support between 1.16 and Kubernetes 1.23, mobile uses 464XLAT (464XLAT with CLAT/PLAT) and Android plans DHCPv6 PD by end of 2025; major clouds and GitHub still have partial or missing IPv6 features so dual‑stack and translation remain common.
