We have about 2K for the time being as we do opt-in.

As of right now, we have a IPv6 ICMP packet drop of 0,09%. If you want to
hit the 0% mark, you must disable rate-limiting. However, seen from an
operational point of view turning off ICMP rate-limiting makes your 6rd BR
vulnerable for ICMP ping attacks.
