Google IPv6 measurements in Europe appear heading down...

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear Eric,

on the http://www.ipv6matrix.org project we are also seeing rises &
falls depending on areas.
We have attributed this to several potential causes:

1. temporary allocation of IPv6 addresses & roll-back when faced with a
tech problem
2. a less inter-connected IPv6 network thus affected by changes in
peering agreements & BGP routing. (this has been quite a significant
challenge)
3. changes in hosting for some large content providers - this sometimes
happens when content providers strike a deal with another hosting
company or merge

Kind regards,

Olivier
