Set up two hosts, host A and host B in two different data centers. Make them send HTTP requests to each other over ipv4 and over ipv6. You'll see that latency spikes, packet loss is more frequent over ipv6.

- chaboud 6y agoWe’ve observed this in end-user devices, especially on some ISPs. It makes sense if the overall adoption and resource allocation are comparatively smaller, making individual or small-group coincident spikes more impactful against the amortized whole. It’s a lot like a market with low volume/liquidity. Someone wanders in with a big transaction and blows everything up.
