When we reach this point, it will be too late since
there will be no more “free” IPv4 addresses!

IPv6 Adoption

The Question is: where are we now?


IPv6 Matrix Project
ISOC England was awarded a Community
Grants Programme award in November
2009
Design and implementation of an “IPv6
Crawler,” software on a computer that
would crawl through the DNS at regular
intervals in order to detect:
IPv6 DNS servers
IPv6 compliant Web servers
IPv6 compliant SMTP mailers
IPv6 compliant NTP servers.


Project Rationale
Today, the vast majority of internet traffic is generated
by a small number of data sources – i.e. the world’s
busiest Web Sites
Without IPv6 accessible content, IPv6 has no chance
of being used - ever.
Take the 1 Million most popular Web site list from
alexa.com as a starting point for the domains to be
tested. Add more domains later.
This is equivalent to testing about 6.3 million hosts
worldwide
Use GeoIP database to estimate real host location

IPv6 Matrix Project: London
Two servers: a back end Crawler, and a
front end Web server.
They function entirely independently of each
other.
The Crawler works through connectivity
tests and generates huge quantities of data
which are stored as text-based data files.
The Web server integrates this data into an
SQL database which can then be
interrogated by Web pages to make the
results available worldwide.

Dual IPv4/IPv6 general Statistics

Use the filters to check for data specific
to a single Top Level Domain, or to a set
of Top Level Domains.

It is also possible to filter by type of
service tested.


Data Archives

Selecting Data Archives provides
a link to the detailed information
Table.
Click on “Search”, to go
directly to the Top Level Domain,
or scroll down to the desired
Top Level Domain.


Data Archives

Example Data in Data Archives (stop
at date)

Click on the “+” to the left of the
Top Level Domain to gain
access the sub-menu containing
the dates of all the data runs,
and so on, to reveal results.

year-month-day__hour-min-sec


Data Archives - results

Click on the links to open a
new window containing
all of the detailed results
formatted in a table.


Data Archives - results
Basic IPv4/IPv6 connectivity table

Domain penetration summary table

Geographical IP database

Type of IPv6 access (tunnels etc.)

Trace path, hop count, MTU IPv4 & IPv6

Ping count IPv4 and IPv6

Reverse IPv4 and IPv6

SOA for Nameserver

Service detection for SMTP, HTTP and HTTPs

TLS detection for SMTP

Detailed Data for .AE
Clicked on tcp80_WWW_ae: connection to http port


Search for IPv6 address
Performing a search using the search menu: ipv6 not equal to n/a
shows all of the ipv6 compatible domains in the table.

The Web site is The Web site
accessible on is not accessible
IPv4 on IPv6


Example 1: Ping delays for IPv6

Country specific results? /P1
(examples from the report / finding
errors etc.)
Search for site with no IPv4 address
and an IPv6 address starting with “2”.
At present, all valid, routable IPv6
It is possible to combine addresses start with “2”.
search items together
In this case, we looked at the UK
ping table, and combined a search
for domains which have a web site
who address is pure IPv6.


Example 2: fake IPv6 AAAA record

Country specific results? /P2
These “ipv6” addresses are AAAA records
which pretend to denote an IPv6 address,
(examples from the report / finding
but are actually IPv4 addresses.
errors etc.)
There are plenty of examples of such mis-
configuration in the DNS.
Worse problems are caused by commas in domain
names, ie. www.domain,com as well as IP
addresses returning localhost 127.0.0.1 or ::1 etc.

Comma!

Perform a search for ipv6 field starting with ::ffff


Machine readable output

Command directly to SQL database

http://www.ipv6matrix.org:4444/getTable?crawl=2010-07-18_12-24-48&tld=com&table=WWW_com

It is therefore possible to use an entirely new user interface with the back end database


Problems / Possible Errors

Lots of errors in the DNS – commas, no A, no AAAA
record, looping MX, etc.
Firewalls and security software:
Blocking of network segments
detecting denial of service attack (DoS) by error:
• Unusual UDP traffic. Trace-path / ping, SMTP, HTTP,
Secure HTTP, NTP port testing.
Internet snapshot from one location only
Less accurate results with small input data size (small
number of domains tested)
Disputed accuracy of Geographical IP database


Future Work – funding required

Add more domains to be tested
Add more features to be tested
Current front end Web Pages are only an
example of possible analysis
Develop new data visualisation
Perform further analysis
Perform historical/time analysis from archives
Develop an engine to write automated reports
Duplicate Crawler to other regions
