Another relevant metric, less than 25% of my mobile subscribers traffic require NAT64 translating. 75+% of bits flows through end-to-end IPv6 (thanks Google/Youtube, Facebook, Netflix, Yahoo, Linkedin and so on ...).
So I'm guessing that 75% of the traffic flows with better latency than the 25% IPvhorse-n-buggy traffic? ;)
Facebook says IPv6 is 20-40% faster

Another way to look at it, IPv4 is 20-40% slower than IPv6.
The question I have not seen the answer yet to is “why?” Is this really because of the network, e.g., separate pipes in some places still, with forwarding devices handling a lot less pps? Is it because of people having done a newer cleaner-cut network stack implementation and lately cared about its performance? Is it about middle nodes? Has anyone done the research on this?
