Doing the math, this does       NOT equal a 50% lag. Maybe the issue is that your ISP's path to your IPv6       tunnel provider is not an optimum path? Mine is just a couple hops away       so it's not an issue for me.               MvV> As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6 at        MvV> all.              This is true.              ...
