Comcast Carrying 1Tbit/s of IPv6 Internet Traffic

Posted by Unknown on from the hurd-1.0-released dept.

New submitter Tim the Gecko (745081) writes Comcast has announced 1Tb/s of Internet facing, native IPv6 traffic, with more than 30% deployment to customers. With Facebook, Google/YouTube, and Wikipedia up to speed, it looks we are past the "chicken and egg" stage. IPv6 adoption by other carriers is looking better too with AT&T at 20% of their network IPv6 enabled, Time Warner at 10%, and Verizon Wireless at 50%. The World IPv6 Launch site has measurements of global IPv6 adoption.

    Slashdot can't be far behind, right?

    I've heard that you can only get ipv6 connections if your comments are in uni-code.
