The measurements were done during the Summer 2009 using a specific- purpose program which connects to the BitTorrent peer-to-peer network. The study was made in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks because they are responsible for most Internet traffic and because their structure and functioning permit a rapid discovery of a large number of nodes from all over the world. In addition, the P2P users are more likely to be interested by IPv6 as IPv6 does not have the same NAT problems as IPv4.}, }
