Joking aside, I suspect that what's left is on the long tail is
actually long haul traffic. I'm not aware of any transit provider
reporting anything close to the numbers that the CDNs observe in terms
of IPv4 / IPv6 percentage split.

I posit that the more miles a packet has to travel, the more likely it
is to be an IPv4 packet.

Kind regards,
