IPv6 traffic data in Asian networks?

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Carlos,

I think all those measurements are not good, let me explain why.

According to my own "experiments" on this field, when you ask for IPv6
traffic to ISPs, carriers, IXPs, etc., they are only counting the *native*
IPv6.

Today, most of the IPv6 traffic is not native, but transition, at least in
the access networks (and it remains as transition traffic unless your ISP
has transition boxes such as Teredo and 6to4 relays).

If you measure traffic at end hosts, then you will reach a totally different
picture (around 12% from my own measurements). And this is even not totally
correct 

I've presented "The cost of NOT deploying IPv6" yesterday at the IEPG
meeting 
(http://www.potaroo.net/iepg/march2007/the_cost_of_not_deploying_ipv6_v4.pdf
), including some preliminary stats. I plan to have much better stats in a
couple of weeks or so. But I thin it is clear that IPv6 traffic is growing
and especially with transition (both, 6to4 and Teredo). There are several
reasons that explain that, such as more and more CPEs that come with 6to4
enabled by default, Vista with comes with IPv6 enabled by default (and ore
applications making use of it).

Regards,
Jordi
