Switzerland Tops IPv6 Adoption Charts; US Lags At 4th

hypnosec writes "According to recent statistics, Switzerland has topped the IPv6 adoption charts by leapfrogging Romania, which led the charts for nearly a year. According to Google, Switzerland's adoption stands at 10.11 percent — the highest for any country. Romania, on the other hand, has an adoption rate of 9.02 percent, followed by France at 5.08 percent. Switzerland took the top position near the end of May and the primary reason seems to be Swisscom and its drive to adopt the next IP version. The U.S. stands at fourth place with just 2.76 percent adoption."

At this point, it's not the infrastructure that needs to be updated. The backbone of the Internet has been IPv6 for almost a decade now and almost all DSL/Cable hardware is IPv6 native. The only real stuff that needs to get updated is ISPs actually configuring their hardware and end-users having IPv6 capable NAT/Routers.
