Hi Jack,
As OVH is a data centre, I find that extraordinary if eyeballs were the
cost. VPN's may be popular but that seems excessive. Probably bots of
some sort, scraping the internet.

Hi all!
I'm working on our IPv6 and DNSSEC adoption report for Canada and the data I
use comes largely from APNIC (https://stats.labs.apnic.net/dnssec/CA) and
(https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CA).
Labs.APNIC has a pretty cool system to measure this kind of stuff by deploying specially
crafted google ads, see "How Big is that Network?"
https://labs.apnic.net/?p=526, and APNIC is able to assess the population behind a
network based on ad placement distribution. See
https://stats.labs.apnic.net/cgi-bin/aspop?c=CA for Canada.
The question I have is why does OVH come #6 with an estimated population of
1,480,927 behind its ASN? Remember these are actual placement of ads. Should I
count those users as part of my stats?
