We have selected this latter statistic, as it comes from a Regional At the time of writing, there are large discrepancies between data from these and
other sources. In fact there is no well-defined metric for "how many IPv6 users

Estimates posted to the IETF by Geoff Huston in July 2023 suggest that Google
observes a 7% adoption rate in China, while the APNIC measurement reports 30%.
