Hi,

During today's Plenary there was discussion about making IPv6 only wifi 
during some IETF meeting.

If so, I was wondering whether people will perceive a larger battery 
drain in their devices?

I am asking because we performed some measurements on a recent 
smartphone comparing various Internet usage (youtube, real-time, web 
browsing, ftp, etc.) and we seemed to find that IPv6 draws around 5% 
more energy from the battery than IPv4.  That was on cellular, maybe 
wifi is different...
