The purpose of this panel will be to review the numbers afresh, see new perspectives on v6 deployment, reflect on the progress in the last year and a half, and begin to address the question of what "good" looks like for IPv6.
* How much IPv6 traffic is "enough"?
* Enterprise networks do not generate lots of traffic, but are heavily dependent on the Internet for outsourced services. Can we have a v6 Internet without enterprise deployments? What's stopping them?
* Apart from backbone IPv6 traffic, what are the key milestones for IPv6 progress? E.g., the relationship between IPv6 deployment and (reduced) reliance on Large Scale NATs

7. World IPv6 Launch: Access Networks
Who?
§ ATT, Comcast, Free, Internode, KDDI, Time Warner Cable, and
XS4ALL initially
§ 69 networks achieved a measurable deployment with an
average of at least 0.1% by 6 June 2012
§ This number had increased to 197 networks by 11 October
2013
IPv6 is part of Regular Business now
§ New subscribers getting IPv6 on by default, no user config
needed
§ This was measured by Google, Facebook, and Yahoo! on 6
June, 2012 and has been measured and reported each month
since then. These results are here:

§ NB: the 5 most visited websites in the world use IPv6 now

10. IPv6 Deployment – up and to the right
- The % of traffic using IPv6 is growing consistently, and, of late,
fairly rapidly. It doubled in the last year, and is at a pace to double
quicker than that now.
- It seems clear from all signs of deployment that IPv6 has caught on
and the waiting for other operators before starting deployment
phase is over
- Deployment of IPv6 gets network operators on a path to avoid or
retire large scale NATs
- Some operators are beginning to consider IPv6 only deployments
in parts of their network

11. This is Great! But, what does Success look
like?
How much IPv6 traffic is "enough"?
Enterprise networks do not generate lots of traffic, but
are heavily dependent on the Internet for outsourced
services. Can we have a v6 Internet without enterprise
deployments? What's stopping them?
Apart from backbone IPv6 traffic, what are the key
milestones for IPv6 progress? E.g., the relationship
between IPv6 deployment and (reduced) reliance on
Large Scale NATs
