Just a thought -- what percentage of flows is that 40% of traffic? Since it's mostly video I'd assume the bytes/flow would be far higher than the median. If you can get a reasonably high percentage of flows on IPv6, not only do take load off your CGN box, you can get higher users per public IPv4 address ratios and stretch your v4 allocation further. No idea if the numbers work out to make this a useful effect in the timeframe when it would be necessary, but it's a benefit I haven't heard voiced before. -Ben
