[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Actual IPv6 traffic
From the agenda:
C. Report(s) about *actual* v6 traffic volume as compared to v4? *what's real* out there, not what's on powerpoint? (input from the audience)
My input in advance: I've been running some web measurements using a small image that can be linked on web pages to see whether the visitors are v6-capable or not. (The host that has the image has an IPv6 address and notes whether the image is requested over v4 or v6.) The results over the past months: Site IPv4 IPv6 Total 0 151 ( 98.05%) 3 ( 1.95%) 154 3 334 ( 94.35%) 20 ( 5.65%) 354 6 1355 ( 82.02%) 297 ( 17.98%) 1652 7 57 ( 75.00%) 19 ( 25.00%) 76 8 20107 ( 99.85%) 31 ( 0.15%) 20138 10 2918 ( 84.43%) 538 ( 15.57%) 3456 Totals 24925 ( 96.49%) 908 ( 3.51%) 25833 Note that the numbers refer to different sites with very different usage and IPv6 interest levels. Only number 8 is a very mainstream non-networking site (in Dutch) so I think this one represents average IPv6 capability for the web surfing public fairly well, at around 1 user in 666 requesting the counter image over IPv6. :-) See http://www.muada.com/ to see the counter in action and for a link to the results page. (BTW, it would help if someone would type sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 on router.ripemtg.ripe.net, or, failing that, kill the rtadvd.)

Hi, The IPv6 Cluster site at www.ist-ipv6.org for April 2004 had 3,460 visits of which 309 (8.9%) were over IPv6. This as a ratio is down from the peak in Jan 2004 where we had 3,520 visits, of which 568 (16.2%) were over IPv6. Probably due to the Global IPv6 Launch event in Brussels. This is a pretty niche v6 site, so you'd expect more v6 visitors than anywhere else. Tim
Hi, There's somebody out there doing IPv6 webcounter stats: http://6bone.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/ipv6/stats/stats.php3 Looking at the rankings, clearly a mathematician :) -- ---------- - - - - -+- - - - - ---------- Pim van Pelt Email: pim@ipng.nl http://www.ipng.nl/ IPv6 Deployment -----------------------------------------------
