IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark

Google's latest statistics reveal that IPv6 adoption has officially surpassed the 50% milestone globally. This marks a significant turning point in the transition of internet infrastructure, addressing IPv4 exhaustion and optimizing connectivity performance.

Statistics

Google collects statistics about IPv6 adoption in the Internet on an ongoing basis. We hope that publishing this information will help Internet providers, website owners, and policy makers as the industry rolls out IPv6.

IPv6 Adoption

We are continuously measuring the availability of IPv6 connectivity among Google users. The graph shows the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6.
