OT - Vint Cerf joins Google

Mon Sep 12 04:30:11 UTC 2005

The last figure that I remember, very impressive, was in April 2004, when
the estimated number of hosts using 6to4 on Windows hosts was calculated as
100.000.000 (extrapolated from measurements). This is not including hosts
with have native support or use other transition mechanism such as
configured tunnels, ISATAP, 6over4, or Teredo (behind NAT).

We notice in our web servers (which are dual stack), incredible amounts of
IPv6 traffic, increasing month by month.

Other applications which already use IPv6 are SMTP, SSH, News, BitTorrent
and Microsoft Peer Name Resolution Protocol.

Do you want to guess what will happen with Vista, which comes with IPv6
enabled by default ?

Jordi
