Re: Big day for IPv6 - 1% native penetration

My guess is that a non-trivial fraction of observed IPv6 traffic today
is unintentional.

almost all ip traffic is unintentional.  "i want my mtv.  money for
nothin' and the chicks are free."

< from a friend in a big broadband provider >

when the average consumer (real) broadband connection becomes v6
capable, about 40% of the traffic is instantly ipv6, thank you netflix,
facebook, netflix, google, netflix, and netflix.

the brick wall is 'smart' tee vees etc, which do not speak v6, and will
have a five+ year lifetime.
