I. Report about *actual* v6 traffic volume as compared to v4? what's *real* out there, not what's on powerpoint? (Proposed by Randy Bush, we are looking for a volunteer(s))
Hello. Im not volunteering for this, im just making a comment... Isnt this proposed topic of the kind: "See? no traffic, we should shut down IPv6!!! Nobody is using it!!!" or "Bahhhh, i was right... IPv6 is worthless..." We all know v6 traffic is 0.(some-zeros)1 % of v4 traffic, and that native IPv6 lines are very scarce. So this "report" will always be a very negative one. Instead of that, it would be more useful (and in a more positive way) to drive a continued survey/report on which % of ISPs/LIRs have IPv6 "projects", and which native lines exist, and not just tunnels. Having this data sorted out by country, could perhaps drive the people who decide where the money goes... (As far as i know, data related to my country is very easy to sort out... just 3 ISPs have IPv6 projects and only one native inter-as IPv6 native line exists...)
