Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are permanently enabling IPv6 for their products and services.

Global IPv6 traffic has grown more than 500% since World IPv6 Launch began on 6 June 2012, and this year – the 2nd “Launchiversary” – marks the fourth straight year IPv6 use has doubled. If current trends continue, more than half of all Internet users will be IPv6-connected in less than four years!
