(It's a conjecture but) I find it plausible that Google does some network engineering in various regions, including the one serving NL, and selectively turning IPv6 on/off for stuff they serve. If what the Google stats is shown what percentage of traffic *to them* is on IPv6, then these changes may cause the stats to change. "Geoff's ads" are offered by Google but served by Geoff's infra, which is not Google's so it is unaffected. Robert On 2023-10-10 11:50, Eric Vyncke (evyncke) via ipv6-wg wrote:
A measurement issue at Google is probably where to look (or some peering/routing with Google AS)

Hello,
Is there anyone in this group that would dare to speculate on the sudden drop in IPv6 adoption for my country, the Netherlands on this URL?
https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/NL <https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/NL> doesn't show equivalent drop.
Last I heard presentation about how APNIC measures this, it's through Google ads served to web browsers, so that sounds like similar method to what google might be using.
