[members-discuss] [Ticket#2012072401002498] Probably Free /8 networks in RIPE region

Hi Max

they say IP not IPv4 or IPv6 so IPv6 is a valid techinque, but you know 
then if you are "pure public IPv6 address " you still have the problem 
of reaching IPv4 content on the network.

To solve this issue I suggested another point of view which starts from 
some assumptions: the ITalian traffic is mostly on-net traffic.

The assumption can be wrong but most of the traffic (in terms of bytes) 
comes from:

1) google/youtube/facebook OTT traffic: afaik they natively support IPv6 
and usually they are located in Italy (as well as other countries)
2) peer2peer traffic and most of that traffic is done on Italian content 
(we do not speak english so most of users search for Italian content, 
which most probably stays on net)
3) content providers: they are Italian content providers (most of them 
are the same big telcos)

Now, my assumption is that if tomorrow morning we wake up and we have:

a) end user dual stack (so the stack can decide if it goes on IPv6 or IPv4)
b) ITALIAN content providers with dual stack

then I think we could easily jump from the current 1-5% to 60% or more 
of the Italian IPv6 bytes (my personal opinion).

The problem stays with the rest of 40% or less of the traffic but in any 
case the proposed NAT and no IPv6 transition mechanism does not sound 
like a good idea to me

Regards,
Paolo
