I disagree with your understanding of the "limited deployment ...".
There is much more commercial deployment and traffic that what you realize.
Because some ISPs didn't deployed yet IPv6 doesn't meant is a failure. The
deployment of any new protocol take time, and actually I will say that IPv6
has taken the right time to ensure a smooth transition. Precisely because
that, most people is not noticing that some applications are already using
IPv6, and we will see this much more in the next 12-18 months or so. So yes,
is happening, and is a success.

Jordi
