Re: IPv6 traffic distribution

[Thierry Ernst <thierry.ernst@xxxxxxxx>]

As a member of the G6 (http://g6.asso.fr), I'm very pleased to read this message and all the credits given to G6.

Without minimizing the role of the G6 association and its indivual members who have individually spread and participated to the deployment of IPv6 in their own organization (I would give credits to Renater and AFNIC and many others including well-known IETF participants in particular Francis Dupont for the first IPv6 implementation and Rémi Després for the first large scale deployment of IPv6 (6RD@Free), I would just like to mention how much we are indebted to the samurais of the WIDE community in Japan for having demonstrated how to master IPv6 by practice. Without this effort from Japan (KAME, USAGI, ...), IPv6 wouldn't be where it stands today.

Regards,
Thierry Ernst.

"France is responsible for more than half of current IPv6 traffic
worldwide"; I can positively confirm that Free (AS12322) that
contributes to most of the French IPv6 native hits is delivering
"native" IPv6 to their eyeballs using 6rd and that they are indeed the
800-pound gorilla of French IPv6 traffic, no contest.

Also:

    One reason that may explain France’s early adoption of IPv6 is
    that France has formed a multitude of valuable IPv6-based
    associations on the past decade. This activity has greatly
    contributed to the acquisition and dissemination of IPv6
    knowledge. These organizations consist of the G6, whose primary
    task is IPv6 experimentation and information exchange. The G6 was
    founded in 1995 by researchers in academia and industry. G6’s
    overall goal is the gradual building of a new infrastructure
    required for the Internet to survive. The G6, like Cisco, is
    focused on an effective and seamless transition IPv4 to IPv6. It
    is the primary catalyst for advances in IPv6 networking in France.

In other words, very early (15 years ago), the French Internet
community formed an organization to move IPv6 forward through
coordination and persuasion rather than by preaching from the outside.

In the larger Internet, I've seen a remarkable absence of that sort
of coordination.
