As a small ISP, my question is, what benefit do I get by adding IPv6? I have enough IPv4 addresses for all my clients and although I get the occasional client asking when we'll make IPv6 available, when I ask them why they want it, the answer is mostly something that sounds like "because IPv6" It’s not all in one direction - Do you provide hosting services and if so then do those people who host with you want to maximise the reach of whatever it is they are hosting?

If they have good reason to handle IPv6 clients at scale, they can always use Cloudflare while remaining on IPv4 in-house. I don't know if Cloudflare publish stats.

There is https://radar.cloudflare.com/ I’m not sure what the IPv6 section of that report is measuring - Traffic volumes? session counts? Something else? Geoff
