Yeah, I think this is the thing that I see people most often missing. Yes your
provider may not be doing IPv6, but many applications and providers may yet be
IPv6 internally or IPv6 to the popular content.
I also say the number of people who store an IP as integer in a mysql(mariadb)
backend is not to be underestimated.
I still see some people doing the split up the IPv6 to store it in multiple
columns thing even in 2021 which is disappointing as it shows this
backwards/legacy thinking.
If you’re seeing majority IPv4 bits, you likely have some choke point (CGN/FW)
or similar gateway on the content side that needs a major update. I saw a post
yesterday that someone used a unicode char to add an account nickname at their
bank and it caused the entire bank to pause and them to get a phone call. Not
sure if it’s true, but it rings true.
Be the one enabling the next-generation access and you’ll similarly see graphs
like the mobile carriers see.
