Abstract
It is still an accepted assumption that internet traffic is dominated by IPv4. However, due to introduction of modern technologies and concepts like Internet of Things (IoT) IPv6 has become the essential element. So keeping in mind the advancements in new technologies and introduced concepts to update the adoption of IPv6 on the internet. We want to find out what percentage of the IPv6 traffic is present in the Internet from last 6 years (2008-14) and to obtain the adoption curve of IPv6 native traffic by years to analyze if it is slow or fast. Also what are factors, constraints and limitations involve in the adoption of IPv6. Therefore, we have taken two data sets from the Caida website. The dataset belongs to OC-48 and OC-192 links from two data center of Equinix located at Chicago and Sanjose in the US. Finally compare the final curve with infograph of World IPv6 Launch to know how realistic it is and applied Linear Prediction techniques to see the future trend of the dataset obtained from the US population.
