Maybe to start -- but again, what kind of 6to4 traffic level are we expecting yet?
Peak or average? Think twice before answering. :-)
I'm told there are 6to4 relays seeing in excess of 100mbps. Not bursts. Can you imagine trying to handle 100mbps "internet mix" traffic process switched? :-Z Not even talking about the peaks.
They may be handling 100mbps but they also have a global scope. But all the traffic statistics for 6to4 relays I've seen push several orders of magnitude *less* traffic then that. Anyone have any real numbers?
According to Pekka in this paper http://www.6net.org/publications/papers/csc-6to4.pdf "The traffic of our 6to4 relay has been quite modest; in August 2004, the steady state was only about (a relatively constant) 300-500 kbit/s at 50-100 packets per second. However, quite often there are peaks to 10 Mbit/s and even beyond." Regards Marshall Eubanks
