It is entirely possible that Google's numbers are artificially low
for a number of reasons.

AMS-IX publishes stats too:

This is probably a better view of overall percentage on the Internet than a
specific company's content.  It shows order of 0.5%.

Why do you think Google's numbers are lower than the real total?


They are also different stats which is why they give such different numbers.

In a theoretical world with evenly distributed traffic patterns if 1% of users
were IPv6 enabled it would require 100% of content to be IPv6 enabled
before your traffic stats would show 1% of traffic going over IPv6.

If these figures are representative (google saying 1% of users and AMSIX
saying 0.5% of traffic) then it would indicate that dual stacked users can push
~50% of their traffic over IPv6. If this is even close to reality then that would
be quite an achievement.

If you assume that Youtube/Facebook/Netflix are 50% of the overall traffic, why wouldn't a dual stacked end point have 
half of its traffic as IPv6 after June???
