So for our case here at Southampton our web presence www.ecs.soton.ac.uk
is advertised via both A and AAAA records.
What we see is less than 1% of our IPv6 traffic coming from the Teredo
prefix. 6to4 is at most 1%. I think the reason we see less 6to4 than
some might expect is that a lot of our IPv6 accesses may be from other
academic networks where IPv6 is available 'properly'.
I had our web guys send me a log of recent Teredo accesses to our servers
and the user agents were varied. As Tore suggested, Opera 9.8 was
on the list (since fixed), but also some Mozilla-based entries from both
Linux and Windows platforms.
Total entries: 761
Opera 9.8: 354
Firefox 3.5.7 (Windows): 61
Firefox 3.5.7 (Linux): 96
Iceweasel 3.5.6 (Linux): 8
Mozilla 4.0 (Windows): 242
Not a huge sample, but it shows Windows UAs hitting us from the Teredo
prefix.
