I thought it was well known that 99% of the Internet was for warez &
p0rn....
In the case of IPv6 (and mostly the reason why "normal people" sign up
for Tunnel brokers), the most traffic is NNTP because of "free news
servers" (google for it, you'll find loads of tutorials) oh and
BitTorrent is also a nice hefty piece.
I also though that this was already 'revealed' in several presentations
where people actually looked at was going through their boxes.
Fortunately there are also people who realize that IPv6 can be used for
connecting to all the boxes at home.
