.... and that would seem to indicate that IPv6 is currently handling around half of Internet traffic.
Question is, is it actually making it out on the Internet or just being used to tunnel IPv4 through it?
It's a serious question because LTE and 5G networks only handle IPv6 data - all data packets are IPv6. IPv4 traffic must be tunnelled through the mobile IPv6 network. (This is because obviously there are too many mobile devices). It's why CGNAT exists - to provide the IPv4 gateway to the Internet from the IPv6 only LTE and 5G networks
So yes, technically IPv6 is used for your cellphone data traffic, but it's just carrying IPv4 inside of it.
