BUT FIRST …

A WORD ABOUT IPv6


IPv6

If I said it once …

… I said it 110 times

IPv6 TRAFFIC BY THE NUMBERS


IPv6 measured at via BGP ASNs with IPv6
http://bgp.he.net/ipv6-progress-report.cgi

Networks Running IPv6
We can measure the percentage of networks running IPv6 by comparing the set
of ASes in the IPv6 routing table to those in the combined set of IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 and IPv6 RIBs Last Parsed: Wed Sep 12 01:09:53 PDT 2012

Is IPv6 routing/interconnect/peering prevalent?

~70% average increase per year!

http://bgp.he.net/report/prefixes#_prefixes

~50% average increase per year!

http://bgp.he.net/report/prefixes#_networks


But first … 2011 World IPv6 Day

 World IPv6 Day was about enabling web-based traffic for IPv6
 Focus on content providers
 Web (port 80 & 443 TCP traffic) plotted below

Instant traffic
at 00:00 UTC
5X traffic peak


2012 World IPv6 Launch - real IPv6 traffic

 Long term win since W6D in IPv6 traffic levels
 That means there are both content and eyeballs in play


VISUALIZING IPV4 & IPv6
GLOBALLY AND WITHIN
EUROPE


Checking global IPv6 routing – graphically!

Showing IPv4/IPv6 route propagation
in a graphical form

Caveat:
- This tool is only as good as its source data.
- IP information is uploaded from RIPE RIS & Oregon routeviews.
- Some views are missing; not all routes and paths are visible.

- NOT based on the Hurricane Electric routing tables.


http://bgp.he.net/ – Route propagation graphs

Select tab for v4 or v6 graphs

Routes see downstream of peers
Peers that see routes

ASN originating
routes


Can regional IPv6 routing be measured?

 Question:
 Is there enough IPv6 routing between ISPs?
 Can IPv6 BGP routing tables provide insight?

 Methodology:
 Lots of BGP routing tables collected globally
 Data from http://bgp.he.net/ processed further
 Graphical view on a country-to-country basis


Measuring BGP routing by collecting tables

 Build on exceptional work by others
 RIPE/RIS & Oregon routeviews collect BGP tables
 A hearty “thank you” to RIPE & University of Oregon

 Use Hurricane Electric’s http://bgp.he.net/ site
and it’s database
 Daily processing of those BGP tables
 Results are user-friendly visualization of routing

 Take the data one step further …


Measuring BGP routing by collecting tables

 Take the data one step further …

 Only look at BGP peer data (v4 & v6)
 It’s only interesting to look at BGP adjacency
 Map ASN to country-codes
 Search for adjacencies where CCs are different

 Process resulting data to search for in-region
connections
 Clean up the data
 Display the data


Example processing – CC & ASN

Process each ASN within each country
http://bgp.he.net/country/MY

http://bgp.he.net/AS24514#_peers

Remove all peers within CC
Note the ASNs within the country …

Note the peer connections that are
outside the country …


Visualizing IPv6 routing within the FR

 Full country listing at http://bgp.he.net/country/FR
 Assuming that the ASN is listed as “FR” within RIPE database

http://bgp.he.net/country/FR
ASNs sorted by Adjacency count

Visualizing IPv4/IPv6 routing within Europe

 Methodology:
 Look at all ASNs within one country and map ASN-to-ASN connections seen
between countries
 Thickness of lines shows number of adjacencies seen between countries
 Only countries that have in-continent IPv4/IPv6 interconnections are shown

However; data cleanup is needed …

 RIPE has “EU” listed as country code for
many ASNs; but they are really “somewhere”
 Some French examples …
FR AS261 FR
FR AS775 Institut National de Recherche en Informatique
FR AS776 INRIA Sophia-Antipolis
FR AS777 CEA-Saclay
FR AS781 Reseaux Regionaux StanNet et AmperNet

FR AS1723 Reseau Regional de la Region Languedoc Roussillon
FR AS1724 Amplivia Rhone-Alpes regional network
FR AS1725 Reseau NOROPALE
FR AS1935 Reseau Regional Limousin
FR AS1937 CRATERE AS Number
FR AS1938 Irisa/Inria Rennes
FR AS1942 FR
FR AS1945 Lyon Recherche et Enseignement Suprieur (LyRES)
FR AS1948 Education and research network of the Saclay plateau
FR AS2060 RENATER_ASNBLOCK1



 Cleaned up European maps

IPv6




IPv4 & IPv6


Examples from elsewhere in the world
 Adding an example of showing each country as a separate node
 Now you see country-to-country relationships

Impossible to read (need to zoom)!
Zoom in and view specific countries



Does this produce valid BGP diagrams?

 Can you question the collected BGP data?
 Yes - There’s a need for more participating ASNs

 Can you question the quality of the data?
 Yes - BGP is BGP – it’s only “best path”

 Can you question the processing?
 Yes - It only takes one route to show an adjacency exists

 Can you question a connection from CC1 to CC2?
 Yes – in some cases peering could be in CC3 (ie: USA)

Hurricane Electric – Roots and History
 Founded 17+ years ago - ISP & datacenter operator

 1994 – Roots within the Silicon Valley high-tech community
 1999 – Expanded IPv4 network nationwide in the US
 2001 – Started IPv6 native and tunnel connectivity ( http://tunnelbroker.net )
 2006 – Full “technology refresh” enabled native dual-stack IPv6 backbone
 2008 – Became largest IPv6 backbone globally ( > 1Gbps IPv6 traffic level)
 2009 – Continued expansion into Asia; enabled IPv6 6to4 & Teredo global service
 2010 – Added more geographic coverage; expanded IPv6 6to4 and DNS service
 2011 – Try to convince people to stop talking about IPv6; just talk about the “Internet”
 2012 – World IPv6 Launch – 6th June 2012 – ready and waiting
