It seems that about 30% of IPv4 addresses have an IPv6 duplicate and about 75% of IPv6 addresses have an IPv4 duplicate. There are also some servers that have multiple IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. One server seems to be accessible under 7 different IPv4 addresses. I’m wondering what was the reason for doing that. Give it more bandwidth than is allowed by the highest setting (1000 mbit)? Do you think it would make sens… I suggest you talk to pool project admins to manually add your current server ip to other underserved pools, if you really want MORE traffic. India pool would be a good option… currently no more than 20 servers serving 1.3b population. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.ntppool.org/t/bandwidth-setting-vs-traffic/753)._
