So Stephan Lagerholm, who had visited me earlier for some IPv6 site seeing in Gävle and I were lucky to get this photo. The traffic went down by 5% from last year, and I don't have any good explanation for that.

In relation to this tradition a sub-tradition has emerged which the city is even more renowned for -- to burn down the poor Christmas Goat. This is of course an "illegal" act, but still of quite some interest! Web-cameras showing the status of the Christmas Goat have been put up by the city of Gävle, primarily in a purpose of control. However, when someone sets fire to the poor Goat, the traffic and need for bandwidth tend to go sky-high for these cams. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts/the_christmas_goat_ipv6_and_dnssec" class="red"><span class="readmore">more</span></a> </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/4450" class="blue">Torbjörn Eklöv</a></li> <li>Dec 14, 2010</li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 15,936</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="https://circleid.com/posts/ipv6_whose_responsibility_is_it">IPv6: Whose Responsibility Is It?</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Related Topics: <a href="/topics/internet_governance" class="red">Internet Governance</a>,  <a href="/topics/ipv6-transition" class="red">IPv6 Transition</a>,  <a href="/topics/policy_regulation" class="red">Policy & Regulation</a>,</div> <p> This text was originally meant to be read by the Swedish authorities and municipalities, but the problem is most probably similar all over the world.

In <em>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</em>, Douglas Adams describes the least expensive and most effective method for making something invisible. You simply decide that it is Someone Else's Problem or SEP, if you abbreviate. This is an approach that is frighteningly similar to the Swedish public sector's view of the address shortage on the Internet.
