And the same is true with many other apps, such as Windows Live, newer versions or on-line games, etc. It is clear that with IPv6 and automatic transition mechanisms, you can avoid intermediate servers and do a real peer-to-peer. No need for developing special code for NAT traversal and other stuff. Other developers are already discovering this and I'm convinced that in less than one year the 51% that you mention in another email will be exceeded ! So again: Please, all ISPs start deploying 6to4 and Teredo relays in your networks until you can provide dual-stack to the access. I'm happy to help on that ! Regards, Jordi

The fact is that there is much more IPv6 traffic that what we believe,
I'm quickly approaching my posting limit for the day (week?) but I can't resist telling you the following story:
I recently found myself somewhere where BitTorrent is severely throttled. Although I can download over HTTP at megabytes per second, BitTorrent downloads wouldn't go faster than 10 kilobytes per second.
Turns out that the newest Azureus (BitTorrent application) supports IPv6. Enabled this and lo and behold: I got about 75 peers, 5 of which were IPv6, the rest IPv4. Of the IPv6 peers, one had a regular IPv6 address, the other four 6to4 addresses. Even though the 70 IPv4 peers could only give me 10 kB/s, the 5 IPv6 peers pushed my download well beyond 100 kB/s.
So under the right circumstances, a little IPv6 can go a long way.
