To be sure, you could always put your phone system on the same network segment 
too...

Back to the original discussion, it's worth keeping in mind that individual 
devices can and do have multiple IPv6 addresses, so the IPv6 utilisation vs the 
number of devices on the layer 2 segment could vary significantly. So if you 
want to know how many devices are actually on a network segment, you would want 
to check MAC address tables or filter for unique MAC addresses within the ARP 
table rather than a ping sweep or similar.
