What is an IPv4 Address?

Domain Name: www.isoc.org

DNS Server

IPv4 Address: 212.110.167.157

Domain Names are identifiers

that you type in your Web

Browser, your E-mail etc.

DNS Servers translate this

Domain Name into an

address that is made up of

numbers

Every device that is

connected to the Internet

needs its Internet Protocol

(IP) address

translation

www.google.com

www.yahoo.com


We are running out of IP addresses

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

We are running out of IP addresses

In the future, communication will go everywhere

IPv6 Space

IPv4: 4,294,967,296 addresses

IPv6: 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,770,000,000 possible addresses

50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 addresses per human


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

� London, UK:

� Project Management and support

� Hardware supply and installation

� Data Centre and IPv6 connectivity

� Nile University, Egypt:

� Software Programming


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
