6. Hurricane Electric – IPv6 Global Network All Hurricane Electric POPs are full IPv6 Native routing and peering IPv6 peering at all major peering points in US, Europe & Asia. Private and public peering capacity at 10Gbps and above. Map outdated! 12 Sept 2012 6 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

7. IT’S TWENTY TWELVE … IPv6 BY THE NUMBERS 12 Sept 2012 7 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

8. http://bgp.he.net/ipv6-progress-report.cgi Networks Running IPv6 We can measure the percentage of networks running IPv6 by comparing the set of ASes in the IPv6 routing table to those in the combined set of IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 and IPv6 RIBs Last Parsed: Wed Sep 12 01:09:53 PDT 2012 IPv4 ASes: 42259 IPv6 ASes: 6113 ASes using only IPv4: 36270 ASes using only IPv6: 124 ASes using IPv4 and IPv6: 5989 ASes using IPv4 or IPv6: 42383 Percentage of ASes (IPv4 or IPv6) running IPv6: 14.4% IPv6 measured at via BGP ASNs with IPv6 Date 14.4% Percentage of ASNs running v6 3.6%  IANA Runout  W6D  W6L 12 Sept 2012 8 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

9. Is IPv6 routing/interconnect/peering prevalent? 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 9 http://bgp.he.net/report/prefixes#_prefixes http://bgp.he.net/report/prefixes#_networks ~70% average increase per year! ~50% average increase per year!

10. 2012 & WORLD IPv6 LAUNCH Don’t be left behind http://www.worldipv6launch.org/ Driving Global IPv6 Traffic! 12 Sept 2012 10 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

11. But first … 2011 World IPv6 Day 12 Sept 2012 11 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" World IPv6 Day was about enabling web-based traffic for IPv6  Focus on content providers  Web (port 80 & 443 TCP traffic) plotted below Instant traffic at 00:00 UTC 5X traffic peak

12. 2012 World IPv6 Launch - real IPv6 traffic Long term win since W6D in IPv6 traffic levels  That means there are both content and eyeballs in play 12 Sept 2012 12 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

13. 2012 World IPv6 Launch - real IPv6 traffic Exchange points showing IPv6 traffic spikes  DE-CIX Frankfurt  AMS-IX Amsterdam Interesting IPv6 traffic spike in Frankfurt prior to W6L 12 Sept 2012 13 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

14. VISUALIZING IPv6 GLOBALLY AND WITHIN EUROPE & THE UK 12 Sept 2012 14 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6"

15. Checking global IPv6 routing – graphically! 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 15 http://bgp.he.net/ Caveat: - This tool is only as good as its source data. - IP information is uploaded from RIPE RIS & Oregon routeviews. - Some views are missing; not all routes and paths are visible. - NOT based on the Hurricane Electric routing tables. Showing IPv4/IPv6 route propagation in a graphical form

16. http://bgp.he.net/ - Searching on ASN, IP, etc. 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 16 Search command ASNAS5713 IPv4 address196.21.79.50 IPv4 block196.4.160.0/23 IPv6 address2001:4200:ffff:a::1 IPv6 block2001:4208::/32 …etc …¯¯¯

17. Example of BGP tools – IPv4/IPv6 statistics 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 17 http://bgp.he.net/ IPv6 and IP4 BGP and routing information

18. http://bgp.he.net/ – Route propagation graphs 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 18 Peers that see routes ASN originating routes Routes see downstream of peers Select tab for v4 or v6 graphs

19. Can regional IPv6 routing be measured? Question:  Is there enough IPv6 routing between ISPs?  Can IPv6 BGP routing tables provide insight? Methodology:  Lots of BGP routing tables collected globally  Data from http://bgp.he.net/ processed further  Graphical view on a country-to-country basis 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 19

20. Measuring BGP routing by collecting tables Build on exceptional work by others  RIPE/RIS & Oregon routeviews collect BGP tables  A hearty “thank you” to RIPE & University of Oregon Use Hurricane Electric’s http://bgp.he.net/ site and it’s database  Daily processing of those BGP tables  Results are user-friendly visualization of routing Take the data one step further … Only look at BGP peer data (v4 & v6)  It’s only interesting to look at BGP adjacency  Map ASN to country-codes  Search for adjacencies where CCs are different Process resulting data to search for in-region connections  Clean up the data  Display the data 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 20

21. Example processing – CC & ASN 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 21 http://bgp.he.net/country/MY Process each ASN within each country Note the ASNs within the country … http://bgp.he.net/AS24514#_peers Remove all peers within CC Note the peer connections that are outside the country …

22. Full country listing at http://bgp.he.net/country/GB (not UK)  Assuming that the ASN is listed as “GB” within RIPE database Visualizing IPv6 routing within the UK 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 22 Note … “UK” is not valid in RIPE database ASNs sorted by Adjacency count http://bgp.he.net/country/GB

23. Routing propagation graphs for three providers in the UK  These change all the time; it’s best to look online for latest BGP propagation Visualizing IPv6 routing within the UK 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 23 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs

24. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Hungary 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 24 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs IPv4 & IPv6

25. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Hungary (cont) 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 25 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs IPv4 & IPv6

26. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Austria 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 26 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs IPv4 & IPv6

27. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Czech Republic 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 27 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs IPv4 & IPv6

28. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Europe 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 28 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs Methodology:  Look at all ASNs within one country and map ASN-to-ASN connections seen between countries  Thickness of lines shows number of adjacencies seen between countries  Only countries that have in-continent IPv6 interconnections are shown IPv4 & IPv6 IPv6

29. Visualizing IPv6 routing within Europe (cont) 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 29 Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs IPv4 & IPv6

30. Does this produce valid IPv6 diagrams? Can you question the collected BGP data?  Yes - There’s a need for more participating ASNs Can you question the quality of the data?  Yes - BGP is BGP – it’s only “best path” Can you question the processing?  Yes - It only takes one route to show an adjacency exists Can you question a connection from CC 1 to CC 2 ?  Yes – in some cases peering could be in CC 3 (ie: USA) 12 Sept 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - "IPv6 IPv6 IPv6" 30
