2. 2 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 Many thanks to all people involved in monitoring IPv6 and making these numbers public The presented sites are my own selection but there are many others Graphics dated 30 th of July 2013

3. 3 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 Looking at future? Interviews Monitoring ‘precursors’ (IPv6 prefixes, devices,...) Looking at current state of the Internet Open metrics => open results Worldwide view

4. 4 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 Regional Internet Registries (RIPE, ARIN,...) Which ISP has IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes (precursor) Internet routing tables (routeview,...) Which ISP has at least an IPv6 router Traffic seen from this prefix Using techniques described later This is alive prefixes

9. 9 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 Measure the web traffic Using a small web bug (1x1 pixel transparent GIF) Used by Google, and others Can precisely measure IPv4, IPv6 and dual-stack E.g. http://www.vyncke.org/countv6/http://www.vyncke.org/countv6/ Web servers log files Easier but cannot check IPv4, IPv6 Google Ads Used by APnic All ads are in flash and flash can try to download IPv4, IPv6, dual-stack and report Participate in dual-stack peer-to-peer networks such as BitTorrent

10. 10 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 By inserting a 1x1 pixel transparent image (or IFRAME) Or even better 3 images: IPv4-only IPv6-only Dual-stack then check whether IPv4 or IPv6 was preferred IPv6 brokenness (old 6to4 CPE mainly): can reach IPv4-only but not dual-stack (because IPv6 was preferred but broken), cfr Tore Anderson’s experiment IPv6 non-managed tunnels (Sixxs, Gogonet, Hurricane Electric) because the AS is different between IPv4 and IPv6 Can generate a lot of data and CPU load => sampling on large sites

13. 13 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 Simple and easy Try to connect to www.example.org over IPv6www.example.org Make a AAAA DNS request Then try to connect to it by TCP on port 80 But, also try www6.example.org IPv6.example.org,... This is an indicator of ‘IPv6 under test’ or ‘IPv6 pilot’ Can be extended to measure email and DNS servers of a domain

14. 14 Cisco Public, all rights reserved 2014 List of most visited web sites Freely available top-1-million == Which are popular sites visited by the whole Internet Then class by country top level domain:.be,.ch,.lu Issues: www.ice-watch.comwww.ice-watch.com is actually in Belgium www.youtu.bewww.youtu.be is actually outside of Belgium Estimation of IPv6-readiness of a country Paying list of visited web sites by country == Which are popular sites actually visited by users of this country E.g. google.ch, facebook.com, google.com, live.com,... Assuming a long-tail distribution, can estimate the amount of IPv6 traffic IF all subscribers were dual-stack
