At peak we can get between 100,000 - 140,000 requests per second. The

If my math is right, that's 65M IPv6 requests a day out of ~8,000M,
roughly 0.8%, which matches <http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html>
(though the latter claims to measure users, not requests). I imagine
mobile users on IPv6 might be more aggressively cached by their providers,
and they aren't requesting as many resources per page view, so Wikimedia's
share of IPv6 users might be higher.
