Hello everyone. My name is Elliott Karpilovsky, a student at Princeton University. In
collaboration with Alex Gerber (AT&T Research), Dan Pei (AT&T Research), Jennifer
Rexford (Princeton University), and Aman Shaikh (AT&T Research), we studied the extent
of IPv6 deployment at both global and local levels. Our conclusions can be summarized by
the following three points:
1.) IPv6 deployment is not seen as a pressing issue.
2.) We saw a lack of meaningful IPv6 traffic (mostly DNS/Domain and ICMP
messages), possibly indicating that IPv6 networks are still experimental.
3.) Studying Teredo traffic suggested that it may be used for NAT busting by
P2P networks.
Our paper (submitted and presented at PAM 2009) can be found at

feedback with respect to these results, please feel free to express them.
Thank you.
Hi!
Please check out the following link with some information/statistics
from a LAN-party taking place in Norway (yeah, Norway is in Europe, not
North America, but it stills give an overview):
http://technet.gathering.org/?p=121
There were over 5000 computers in the arena and of those 47% had a valid
and working IPv6 address. They was also provided with IPv4 and no NAT at
all. The only ports being closed outbound was 25, 135-139 and 445.
Google over IPv6 was enabled for the event as well, so a lot of the
traffic was towards google.
