Freenet6 went from about 200Mb/s to less than 10Mb/s when we lost both XSnews and XS4all. I thought it would be more torrent traffic but I guess we now know what it actually is. Cheers, Mikael On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Jeroen Wunnink <jeroen@easyhosting.nl>wrote:
If I look at a tcpdump of our teredo relay which is announced to all our AMS-IX peers (and some partial and full transits), there's a lot of nntp and quite some torrent packets going over there, so it seems the majority of IPv6 traffic is due to content providers like XSnews providing 'freebies' to what otherwise would be a paid service.
We've seen the same with our Eweka/Highwinds partial transit, once we announce 2001::/32 there, there's suddenly a big increase in traffic over our teredo from other exchange points prefixes we get from them, heading to free IPv6 news services some dutch providers hand out.
