Counting IPv4 and IPv6 hosts
This page was built in 2008 and after 10 years, it is now no more updated... IPv6 is really
getting deployed! Statistics are kept but no more updated.
Old content
This page contains a very small (1x1 pixel) transparent image which is:
- first fetched over IPv4
- the server remembers the IPv4 client address and redirect to another image (passing the IPv4 + ID)
- this second image is reachable only over IPv6 through the numerical IPv6 address (to force the use of teredo)
- the server remembers the IPv6 client address as well as the IPv4 address and sends the actual small image
This allows to get some statistics.
