It’s pretty hard to tell how many “devices” are capable of ipv6 because they typically just ask for ipv4 DHCP addresses and get them from routers.

My guess is that it is still a tiny minority of non-computer devices that will use ipv6 on the LAN side of a router.

I have a properly set up house network with IPv4 and IPv6 support infrastructure. In December, we used 1.22 TiB total traffic, of which 722.96 GiB was IPv6.

IPv6 traffic has been at least 50% for at least the last year (based on the most convenient statistics I can grab).

At my house with about 10 online devices now i have 42 ipv6 entries in the nat table out of 272 total. I have at&T adsl but would see similar results with Comcast business (which i had until a month ago). I have either linux or newish commercial devices and they have slipped ipv6 in over the past few years. no more HE tunnels for me. I suspect if more websites put it in the DNS it would just work. I am just waiting for ipv6 only VPCs in AWS.
