Hm, 10^1... so it's 0.8%?

Which is not very surprising. Even if 10% of all clients and servers  
were IPv6-enabled, that would only result in 1% IPv6 traffic. And  
even on hosts that support IPv6, the bandwidth hogs (p2p apps)  
generally don't support IPv6.

(FYI: about 1.8% of the DNS traffic to/from my server (excluding my  
own requests) is IPv6.)
