arXiv.orgTowards a Non-Binary View of IPv6 AdoptionTwelve years have passed since World IPv6 Launch Day, but what is the current state of IPv6 deployment? Prior work has examined IPv6 status as a binary: can you use IPv6, or not? As deployment increases we must consider a more nuanced, non-binary perspective on IPv6: how much and often can a user or a service use IPv6? We consider this question as a client, server, and cloud provider. Considering the client's perspective, we observe user traffic. We see that the fraction of IPv6 traffic a user sends varies greatly, both across users and day-by-day, with a standard deviation of over 15%. We show this variation occurs for two main reasons. First, IPv6 traffic is primarily human-generated, thus showing diurnal patterns. Second, some services are IPv6-forward and others IPv6-laggards, so as users do different things their fraction of IPv6 varies. We look at server-side IPv6 adoption in two ways. First, we expand analysis of web services to examine how many are only partially IPv6 enabled due to their reliance on IPv4-only resources. Our findings reveal that only 12.5% of top 100k websites qualify as fully IPv6-ready. Finally, we examine cloud support for IPv6. Although all clouds and CDNs support IPv6, we find that tenant deployment rates vary significantly across providers. We find that ease of enabling IPv6 in the cloud is correlated with tenant IPv6 adoption rates, and recommend best practices for cloud providers to improve IPv6 adoption. Our results suggest IPv6 deployment is growing, but many services lag, presenting a potential for improvement.

@carlysagan I still find the economics of this to be amazing. The system is only usable if the antenna has wide visibility of the sky (not usable in cities canyons or buildings), has limited bandwidth which is an issue if there are lots concurrent users and the satellites must be replaced every few years. A lot of limitations and a lot of operational costs.

flightlineweekly · Starlink High-Speed Internet Now Available for Cessna CaravanTextron Aviation has announced a new high-speed internet connectivity option for the Cessna Citation Caravan, following the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval of AeroMech's Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. The STC from AeroMech leverages Starlink's constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver more reliable connectivity over land, water, and remote areas, where conventional in-flight Wi-Fi may lack coverage. “The Cess
