According to Pekka in this paper
http://www.6net.org/publications/papers/csc-6to4.pdf
"The traffic of our 6to4 relay has been quite modest; in August 2004,
the ”steady state” was only about (a relatively constant) 300-500
kbit/s at 50-100 packets per second. However, quite often there
are peaks to 10 Mbit/s and even beyond."
