Re: IPv6 traffic distribution

As a member of the G6 (http://g6.asso.fr), I'm very pleased to read this 
message and all the credits given to G6.
Without minimizing the role of the G6 association and its indivual 
members who have individually spread and participated to the deployment 
of IPv6 in their own organization (I would give credits to Renater and 
AFNIC and many others including well-known IETF participants in 
particular Francis Dupont for the first IPv6 implementation and Rémi 
Després for the first large scale deployment of IPv6 (6RD@Free), I would 
just like to mention how much we are indebted to the samurais of the 
WIDE community in Japan for having demonstrated *how to master IPv6 by 
practice.* Without this effort from Japan (KAME, USAGI, ...), IPv6 
wouldn't be where it stands today.
Regards,
Thierry Ernst.
