The IPv6 packet header is fixed size, does not have checksum, the routers
do not fragment and ECN is more deployed on IPv6 than IPv4 and there is not
NAT,..

All that contributes to faster routing processing with less errors.

Toute connaissance est une réponse à une question.

Chuck, I don't disagree that overall experience may be better for people
with networks that don't have robust IPv6 capability, but there's nothing
magical about v4 (or v6 either) that makes it "perform better" at layer 3.


If you'd like to consider things at layer 3, note that IPv4 normally has a
20-byte header size, and IPv6 has a 40-byte header.  For large packets, the
difference in protocol overhead is not very significant-- about 1%-- but
for a 56-byte NTPv4 packet, using IPv6 means sending about 125% as many
bits over the wire as sending the same payload via IPv4.

If other factors are held equal, IPv4 is always going to perform better
than IPv6 for NTP because smaller packets mean shorter transmit/receive
times and thus reduced latency for NTP polls.

(There's nothing magical about protocol overhead, except perhaps pretending
that there isn't a difference.  :-)
