hint: that idea is from the late '90s. the next bright idea for what would help ipv6 take over the internet was 3gpp. it's been a long line of things which would make ipv6 take off. and at least ten million messages on mailing lists such as this. and the adoption rate has crawled up slowly; the first derivative remaining fairly flat. of course, if you measure it at the right place, it can have steep points. when goog tured it up for youtube, the proportion of their v6 traffic went up nicely; no surprise. but when i want to measure a real rate of change, i like a mid-stream sample at some isps' borders or ixp, away from eyeballs or eye candy. if we all spent as much time deploying, or helping others deploy as opposed to screaming at them that they must do it asap, we might get that first derivative up a wee bit. but i fear that, at this point, patience is what is most useful.
Like I was saying to someone privately, by pr0n I really meant whatever app or service makes the most sense at the time. It could be gaming, it could be Clubhouse, it could a crossword puzzle. Something, anything. We know how to build online services that ordinary people see value in. Extending that to have it delivered mostly over IPv6 is not a huge leap, if all sides understood that the impetus was to promote IPv6 adoption.
But yes, short of that, patience is the only hope. Mark.
