An obvious question is: With all these differences, what is the difference
in performance between IPv6 and IPv4? There is no simple answer to this
question. Since the IPv6 packet header is 20 bytes larger than for IPv4,
the raw payload throughput of a link carrying full sized IPv6 packets
is slightly less than for IPv4 (about 1.3% less for 1500 byte packets).
However, many other factors come into play and measurements
often show better end-to-end performance for IPv6. For example,
in most countries [Google statistics](https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption)
show lower latency (transit time) for IPv6. The safest summary
is that there is no significant performance difference.
