Re: [v6ops] Interest in energy consumption of IPv6 smartphones (vs. IPv4)

Hi All,

Since there is no dual stack on 3g/4g in my side, I can only test with
wifi. Create a tunnel with HE.net for example and then connect a smartphone
on IPv6 only..make the measurements and then switch to IPv4 only repeat the
steps.....energy measurements are application specific!

I would like to ask the members of the list which is the best application
to use for energy consumption on Android ?

It would also be interesting to measure with different mobile OS !

Best regards
