        They don't know it's not real IPv4 either :)

        But yeah, if Joe Random enables 6to4 on his Airport Express without
        understanding what it means, it still translates to more IPv6 traffic
        during evenings and weekend from residential connections.

        It's be interesting to come up with a metric to compare "inadvertently"
        vs "on purpose" v6 traffic. Free.fr, for instance, enables v6 by default
        on their 6th gen freebox (set top box). Is that inadvertent ? For whom ?
