Re: IPv6 traffic stats

Sorry, I misremembered.

The correct number from the presentation is 0.238% - only Russia, Ukraine and France have more than 0.5% IPv6.

Presentation available from http://rosie.ripe.net/presentations-detail/Thursday/Plenary%2014:00/index.html.

Harald,

Your Half percent is great!

When Tim Berners-Lee presented the www at the JENC conference in
Insbruck in 1992, he said that according to the traffic mesurement
statistics, the www-related trafic is around half percent.

What was the ratio two years later? 40%

Half percent is a good "start" for a real revolution.

The question is: where is any similar movement to those pushed the web
development in the early nineties?

Best,
         Géza

I'm not aware of DNS block lists which cover IPv6 address spaces at
this time, probably in part because IPv6 traffic remains de minimis (see
http://asert.arbornetworks.com/2008/8/the-end-is-near-but-is-ipv6/
showing IPv6 traffic as constituting only 0.002% of all Internet
traffic).

For the record:
It seems that arbornetworks estimates are extremely low to the point
where one has to ask whether there were other issues that caused such
a low estimate.

There is no question that IPv6 traffic is quite low in the Internet.
However, many other reports that I have seen recently measure multiple
orders of magnitude more IPv6 traffic (for an easily accesible example
see: http://www.ams-ix.net/technical/stats/sflow/)
Google's measurements indicate that when faced with a dual-stack host (one
with both an AAAA and an A record in the DNS), 0.5% of all hosts will access
that host using IPv6.

(As presented at the RIPE meeting in Dubai last month.)
