Sure, I appreciate that.

I was trying to provide an insight from my feel for fully configured
tunnel usage against 6to4 usage.

The fact is that our 6to4 traffic constitues only 7% of our outbound
packets, and some 24% of our outbound bytes. Even if I discount four
configured tunnels with excessive packets (between them contributing 60%
of our packets and 39% of our bytes), the 6to4 figures are 17% packets
and 39% bytes.

So however you look at it, the 6to4 traffic is still only a small
fraction of the overall traffic.
