That used to be true, due to a lack of ASIC/FPGA acceleration for IPv6 packets, forcing them to go through the control plane.�� ��I would hope that most, if��not all vendors now do hardware switching for IPv6 on anything build in the last 10 years.

Doesn���t seem like the right way to fix the issue, but small budgets etc.

Globally https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html shows steady growth, and just passed the 40% native IPV6 mark. It's slow but steady progress given the enormity of the protocol changes introduced and the lack of backward compatibility.

However https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption does show NZ is lagging the average on only 19% - anecdotally, none of the 3 ISPs I've used recently for various residential connections�� have made it possible to get IPv6 - Starlink did for a few months initially, but then it disappeared when they moved to their NZ routed ranges :(��
