• IPv6 “RIPEness”

• and lots more ... – See RIPE Labs at http://labs.ripe.net

• Rates LIRs based on 4 IPv6 indicators

– has address space

– address space announced

– route6 object in RIPE DB

– reverse DNS

World IPv6 Day

7

Emile Aben, 2011-06

World IPv6 Day

• When: 8 June 2011

• What: Content providers will dual-stack content for 24hrs

– Including: Google, Yahoo, Facebook

• RIPE NCC measurement efforts:– IPv6 Eye Chart

– Active monitoring of v6day participants

– 6to4 performance

8

IPv6 Eye Charthttp://ipv6eyechart.ripe.net/

9

Emile Aben, 2011-06

IPv6 Eye Chart

• Single webpage for end users to check connectivity before and during World IPv6 day

• Fetch content from WIPv6 participants, and from already dual-stacked websites (RIRs, others)

• Measure to multiple real targets

• Goal: Bring down ‘dual-stack brokenness’– 0.013% and falling (source: Google)

• Specific problem: partial reachability

10

Emile Aben, 2011-06

IPv6 Eye-chart: all OK

• If everything OK before World IPv6 day:

Emile Aben, 2011-06

IPv6 Eye-chart: Not OK

• Host with ‘problematic’ IPv6. Before World IPv6:

• Please fix before 8 June!– Otherwise no Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc for you.

Emile Aben, 2011-06

Partial reachability brokenness

• Network operator needs to fix (not end-user)

• Very rare, and also happens in IPv4

Active measurementson World IPv6 Day(Soon to be on http://labs.ripe.net)

14

Emile Aben, 2011-06

Active Measurements - How?

• Measurement infrastructure:– TTM: Test Traffic Measurement service

– Infrastructure of 100+ machines distributed worldwide

– 40+ are IPv6 enabled

– High-precision measurements

– CAIDA Ark

– RIPE Atlas infrastructure (not probes)

– Others

15

15

Emile Aben, 2011-06

Active Measurements - What?

• Distributed World IPv6 day measurements:– Are participating sites AAAA-ed

– Ping and ping6

– Fetch content over A and AAAA

– Traceroute and traceroute6

6to4 Relative PerformanceBonus

21

Emile Aben, 2011-06

6to4 Relative Performance

• 6to4 allows IPv4-hosts to talk to IPv6-hosts

• 6to4 is a concern for IPv4 to IPv6 transition– See http://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/6to4-how-bad-is-it-really

– Some worries that 6to4 relays may not cope with load during World IPv6 day

• Cooperate with BBN technologies, to measure performance of 6to4 relays in return paths

Conclusion

Emile Aben, 2011-06

Conclusion

• Hopefully it will be a very boring World IPv6 day, measurement-wise

• Expect experience and data will show– Internet IPv6 is (and has been) production ready

– If not: know what to improve

• Keep an eye out on http://labs.ripe.net for the latest on measuring World IPv6 day
