How many of those users are direct vs. relaying through a TURN server? I'm genuinely curious, as I kind of anticipate that the majority of users are relaying, but I guess if p2p requests can open router ports in the common config, that could work.

IPv6 users usually manage a direct connection, and that is ~half the world now.

IPv4 users seem to manage a connection ~70% of the time in my experience. Remember only one peer needs to have a router with a suitable config for everything to work.

I realize most of that... just didn't realize how many work in terms of direct connection, which is nice to hear.
