Why this pattern? From for example Jan to July 2018 there are 27 "cycles" - probably weeks. They go from say 18% to 22% in a week in a regular pattern. Peaks are sharper than the valleys. Are those weekends? Is there more use of IPv6 in the weekend?
- majidazimi 8y ago> Is there more use of IPv6 in the weekend? Most probably yes. Since IPv6 is deployed more on consumers side rather than enterprises. So it's not surprising that over the weekend IPv6 traffic hits a peak.
- djsumdog 8y agoThat makes a lot of sense. If you move to a new house and get a new router from your ISP, you're not going to notice or have to reconfigure a bunch of stuff if you're an average home user, for IPv6 (unless you're one of the people here on HN and have a complex network topology). By default, most ISP routers firewall all IPv6 traffic (and IPv4 is implicitly firewalled via NAT). In an enterprise environment, dual stack support can get a lot more tricky and you need to ensure firewalls are property configured, or else regular workstations can be accessible via the public network.
- Faaak 8y agoYes. Home connections have more IPv6 integration than businesses that have to configure their firewalls, etc.
