Thanks, I looked at that link before I posted. Unfortunately the data is both too coarse and too narrow to be of much use. I'm sure it tells us something about Akamai's and their customers' IPv6 efforts, but it does not tell ISPs anything about what kind of IPv6 flows and volumes to expect.
From what I've learned so far IPv6 percentages of total traffic for ISPs vary between very little to a small amount. This pretty much gives lie to the claims that IPv6 efforts will reduce pressure on CGNAT resources.
