> We're talking about a traffic spike that is 30-to-1 type ratios. In other words, 30 times more IPv6 traffic is coming out of Google's data centers than before.

Given that Google enabled IPv6 traffic to a high-bandwidth service like Youtube, is the spike really of any note?

If a week ago 100 people were using Google Search via IPv6, then today one person views a single Youtube video, that would easily account for a "30-to-1" spike

The actual number of users with IPv6 would be interesting, the fact there was a traffic spike seems quite irrelevant..
