And 32% is all llm/bots using AWS and other "pay for ipv4 IP" use cases.

As someone on the fighting end of scrapers, this is absolutely not true. If anything I should bais towards v6 as the traffic is on par better than v4

		Just remove the A record, and nearly all the scrapers disappear. :-) (And then you get one email per month or so that “your host does not resolve in DNS”.)

		Google is having a real issue with LLMs using it for search. As in, real load issues. Unless you're running a publicly accessible search engine, and the top one at that, the LLM traffic you're seeing is not representative.

Every scraper I have blocked seemed to use IPv4 primarily. Only when IPv4 gets blocked, some of them fall back to IPv6. Others just stay dead.

With AI companies using botnets ("residential proxies") for scraping, they're probably going to be in the 50% that doesn't use IPv6.

Citation needed. These numbers are quite consistent with the growth pattern that started well before usable LLMs were even a thing.
