I was expecting more than not even 3% IPv6 at AMSIX. I don't call it 
"significant time" yet.
IMHO, it will take a few more years before we get a clear picture.
IPv6 will plateau, I just don't think we know where and when yet. Or do we ?

I did not start this thread, but it is time to acknowledge that talks of 100% 
IPv6 are not something that should be on the table at this time.

Do you measure what is happening on private interconnects ? MMR traffic ? I 
would guess that a good part of the IPv6 traffic is between large players, and 
that somehow they may have changed their peering scheme ?
