Cisco’s 6Lab Statistics Site

Cisco maintains a comprehensive IPv6 statistics site that is updated daily at:

http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/

As Alain Fiocco wrote in a very detailed blog post announcing the 6lab statistics site, there are a number of ways to interact with the data:

  • Simply mouse over the world map to see aggregated metrics per country.
  • Select your favorite “data type” to see more details for each metric.
  • Click on “world-scale data” or click on a country  to display historical data.

The site also has an information page that explains the methodology behind the site and the sources used for the data.
