My primary focus would be about native and public IPv6 networks, because 
imho that's the best way ahead for global IPv6 deployment. But i know my 
NREN/IXP view is very different from yours. :-)

Yes, and that data would be the most interesting numbers for me...

If you are measuring only at one site/network (yours), which is often 
referenced as a possibility to check/test IPv6 connectivity, and which is 
mainly publicized to IPv6-aware people, that's probably not a representative 
experience.

We've added an AAAA for quite a long to our main website, and we don't see 
that type of % (yet, i hope...). Also when we do v4+v6 streaming sessions 
the ratio of v6/v4 connections is very, very low.

Thanks, will check it.

I guess we are not yet seeing much of Vista deployed... ;-)

I can blame myself about not using Vista yet, although i actively use 
native v6 as a 1st choice with linux and xp. :-)

Yes, we'll probably have some bigger numbers in 3-6 months time :-)

But, returning to the subject... can you point me to some data/graphs 
about IPv6-enabled Asian networks you by any chance have laid your eyes 
lately???

Best Regards,
Carlos
