Page 1 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

We are running out of IP addresses

http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html
When we reach this point, it will be too late since
there will be no more “free” IPv4 addresses!
Real time data collected September 2011

World IPv6 Launch

Major Internet service providers
(ISPs), home networking
equipment manufacturers, and
web companies around the world
are coming together to
permanently enable IPv6 for their
products and services.
http://www.worldipv6launch.org


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

Web Site
Structure


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 June 2012, the size of this database in text format is
approx 140Gb and continually increasing (the testing
software runs 24/7)


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.

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

Europe Trends

Many countries see a significant rise in
infrastructure
Likely to be caused by a main hosting
provider, installing dual-stack Name-servers
Russia with biggest growth in infrastructure
Slovakia & Portugal still leading with dual-
stack Web sites
Spain catching up.
Country with largest number of dual stack
Web sites in Europe: Germany

Asia Trends

Singapore still leading by far in
infrastructure but trailing in dual-stack Web
Site content
Russia with biggest growth in infrastructure
China results abnormally very low – content
not dual stacked or IPv6 behind firewall?
India also low both in infrastructure and
most popular Web sites with dual stack
Less reliability of results due to smaller
sample size in many countries of the region

Africa Trends

Many countries now have IPv6
capability, some through tunnels
Dual Stack Islands starting to appear
Can be compared with the growth of
Internet connectivity in the nineties

America Trends
USA leads in infrastructure but low on dual
Stack Web site (although the figure is 1699
hosts).
Brazil leading in Latin America with 204 Dual
Stack Web Site hosts
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
A decrease in percentage in some countries, points to
unstable peering agreements (the IPv6 network is less
closely meshed than the IPv4 network)
Germany leads the world in the number of Dual Stack
Web sites among world’s most popular Web sites: 14636
hosts out of a sample size of 218 178 hosts tested
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,
especially in countries where Internet growth is high,
such as in India.


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


Example: 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


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
