#Empirical Evidence
Why do we need it?
Penetration means adoption
Performance means being able to compete
End-system or Network
1- IPv6 Added Value?
2- Challenge Realizing Added Value?
3- Adoption Cost? time, learning efforts, etc
cost should be separated from challenges
faced with the above pros and cons each stakeholder adoption path began to evolve over the next years
End-system can be a user or an ICP
Network plays role in connecting the end-systems together
It has two components:
1- Forwarding Plane
2- Routing Plane
Hence, Three Phases:
1- Price of IPv4 addresses
2- Technical maturity of IPv6
3- Cost of migration to IPv6
4- Growing demand for Internet use (Time)

Our Data
In Forwarding
In Routing
Observation: No/Marginal Adoption
Observation 1: Kick-Start in Adoption
Observation 2: Very Slow Progress
Observation: Accelerating in Adoption
