We're a dual-stack university site (>20k users, >20k device on-net), and 
we see similar values despite completely dfferent technology - ~7% IPv6 
during working hours; it's roughly that value whether you count by 
packets, bytes or flows.

Most of it seems to be Youtube.

Maybe ~6-8% represents the magic value for IMIX IPv6 at the present time?

However, one of our research groups is, as I type, doing about 
200Mbit/sec over IPv6, which has bumped us up to ~16% IPv6. This is 
mostly datagrid traffic to other v6-enabled research peer sites.
