I am using a Sony Xperia 1 iii.

Thank you!

Apparently I am still maintaining this site, so I have upgraded it to SMF 2.1.2 that was released last month. 

Meraki is working on a beta firmware that will add IPv6 client isolation.  This means I will be able to start deploying IPv6 to the public Wi-Fi at work.  We are already around the 50% IPv6 traffic going to the the internet, adding IPv6 to our public Wi-Fi should increase these numbers. 

Last I checked in our core between hub sites we are at 98% IPv6 traffic by volume. 

I decided to take a look again today at Google's IPv6 Adoption graph and I noticed the following:

• While the 40.33% April 30th peak did not keep, we did hit 40% IPv6 usage again last Saturday, so hitting 40% isn't a one-time fluke.
• In the same period of time, the lows were above 35%. I had read a prediction somewhere that IPv6 weekly lows would never get above 33%, so I am glad that prediction failed.

IPv6 usage is growing slowly, but it is growing!

and there was much rejoicing. 

For the first time, Google's IPv6 IPv6 Adoption stats shows over 40%! (It's 40.33% on April 30, 2022.)

The most recent two weeks show both higher highs and higher lows than before, which is a good trend!

See Google's IPv6 Adoption graph.

Meanwhile, a broker of IPv4 addresses shows that the price of IPv4 addresses seems to have plateaued for the past 6 months at about $50/address. See https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales

I wonder how long we would have to wait for that. On 26-Aug-2021 an IPv4 /21 sold for $122,880.00, or $60.00 per IPv4 address.

Smaller allocations (/22, /23) since then have been running in the $45-$47 range, which seems more typical this time, but the graph on page https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales shows three spikes in the month (the $60.00 per IPv4 address being the most recent), which feels like the demand for IPv4 addresses is exceeding availability and the price of smaller allocations should be going up, too.

That's crazy, hopefully is convinces more people to switch. Things will get interesting around $100/adr.

I'm not on Reddit anymore but I do still check that sub from time to time.

Looking at https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales data, it looks like the typical price for an IPv4 /24 went from about $23/adr last August to $46/adr so far this month (August).

I knew the prices of IPv4 addresses would have to go up (limited supply, increasing demand), but I was expecting a more gentle rise, not the hockey stick rise I saw in a graph on Reddit.
