I suppose this is because end users typically view the network as the sole limiting factor with regard to throughput, unaware of the intricacies of application, database, and storage performance. For some reason, the burden of proof always seems to fall onto networkers to demonstrate that the network is not at fault before troubleshooting can begin elsewhere. This article demonstrates how to simulate user traffic between two given points on a network and measure the achievable throughput. Suppose a user somewhere at the edge of the network submits a ticket reporting that a web-based inventory application is performing slowly. Flailing IPv6. Flailing IPv6December 2010 Is IPv6 a robust as IPv4?
What proportion of IPv6 connections "fail"? And what causes such connection failures? These questions were raised in a discussion at RIPE 61 in November 2010. The general conclusion appeared to be that using auto-tunnelling techniques to patch up an IPv6 connection was generally thought to be worse than just allowing the connection to be made using IPv4.
