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
crawls through the DNS at regular intervals
in order to detect and test:
IPv6 DNS servers
IPv6 compliant Web servers
IPv6 compliant SMTP mailers
IPv6 compliant NTP servers.


Project Rationale
Today, more than 95% 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.
Test them for IPv6 connectivity
This is equivalent to testing about 6.3 million hosts
worldwide
Use GeoIP database to estimate real host location


Project Teams

Hardware supply and installation

www.ipv6matrix.org Web Site


What are we tracking?
Host IPv6 penetration
Using IPv4 Geo-location coordinates
Includes generic TLD (gTLDs, .com, .net, .org) and
country code ccTLDs
Two types of information:
Infrastructure: DNS + Web + E-mail + Time server
(NTP)
This tracks all of the infrastructure required to run
IPv6 Web services
Web sites only (actual content)
This tracks the Web services themselves. Usually this
percentage is lower than the figure for the
infrastructure


What are we archiving?
Everything that we are tracking on the previous page,
plus:
Testing of connectivity to the above services in case
IPv6 addresses are advertised but no service runs on
them
Tracing of route from London Docklands to each one
of these hosts both using IPv4 and IPv6 – and
archiving all of this information in text format
A lot more data, accessible from the Web site archive
In April 2011, the size of this database in text format is
approx 60Gb and continually increasing (the testing
software runs 24/7)

America Trends

North America trailing behind Europe

Elsewhere, data based on low number
of Web sites, needs to be taken in
moderation (the restricted number of
hosting providers can make figures
jump several percentage points)


Worldwide Trends
We are seeing a slow growth in dual stack IPv4-IPv6
implementation
The figures are still very small
There is a small decrease in percentage in some
countries, which would point to unstable peering
agreements (the IPv6 network is less closely meshed
than the IPv4 network)
Bearing in mind the Asia Pacific Regional Internet
Registry has run out of IPv4 addresses, it is alarming
to see so few Web sites up and running IPv6 in that
region.


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
