Interesting method that's full of holes (and they know it), but it's data  
nonetheless.

Globally, it's still ~4.5%. Within my own pool of providers, I'm ZERO for  
5. (I've not pinged TWC-BC lately, 'tho. And no one has gotten back to me  
that Earthlink has provided TWC with any prefixes, so us Earthlink cable  
internet customers are still dark.)

IPv4 tends to be NAT'd and aggressively proxied. I also wouldn't rule out  
v6 taking a different path, but that wouldn't explain the magnitude of  
difference those slides would suggest. (not really readable via youtube)
