Not contesting the quantification, but what typical IXP switches can do stats based on ethertype? Given that most relevant IPv6 players especially in Europe and ASPAC do run dual stack and IPv4 and IPv6 over the same interface, I fail to see how you can see the IPv6 traffic levels. I can remember Equinix refusing to allow IPv6 on the normal switch port because they want to see IPv6 traffic levels and need extra port for that. Which hinders IPv6 deployment even more... extra ports do cost real extra money for most folks. Perhaps this policy has changed nowadays (I hope).
