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.
