Survey for operators on IPv6 Extension Headers
by Justin Iurman 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi all, On behalf of the University of Liege (Belgium), we've been doing measurements on IPv6 Extension Headers over the last two years. More specifically, we're trying to evaluate how they are processed by routers along the path, and so from the edge. Now, we would like to compare our observations with the reality of operators. For that, we propose this very short survey [1] to operators and would really appreciate if you could complete it. Note that we guarantee anonymity of your answers by not sharing any data. Looking forward to your input. Thanks, Justin [1] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHgEWVQMrAbB9-pRf-T-mDHXxRxw-mAqO…

IPv6 survey web page
by Mark Prior 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hi all, Some folks in this WG may not know that I maintain a web page that shows accessibility to web, mail and DNS services via IPv6 across a number of domains. As I have just rewritten the script that generates it I thought I would take that opportunity to promote it a little. Back in 2007 at an Internet2 Joint Techs meeting Ron Broersma of DREN presented a talk on IPv6 adoption that included a coloured chart that showed a small number of Internet2 related domains and if they had IPv6 accessible web, mail and DNS. Basically the argument was that it was fine to have IPv6 plumbing but what were you doing with it (and the answer was not a lot). After chatting with Ron I decided to code up something and create a web page so I could report back any changes. Early in the piece the updates were ad hoc (probably driven by meeting deadlines) but eventually it was run by cron. Now it runs daily and works though a largish list of domains seeing if there are web, mail (smtp, submission and imap/pop), DNS, NTP, XMPP and SIP services available via IPv6. Also there is DNSSEC because something has to have worse deployment than IPv6 :-) Originally research and education domains dominated the list but over time I have added ISP/telcos and other commercial companies. There are probably zombie domains in the list too. Anyway that's enough of a background. If you are interested then have a look at <https://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/>. I am happy to add more domains if you want to suggest them. Regards, Mark.

IPv6 mobile deployment (was: Why did the Google IPv6 statistics dropped for the, Netherlands?)
by Geert Jan de Groot 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

Hi, May I ask a different, but related question: While IPv6 migration on classic networks (server farms, internet-at-home connections) is ongoing (and has been ongoing for many, many years, alas), we don't seem to make any progress with mobile data networks. My phone shows test-ipv6.com 10/10 when connected to my home wifi, when I connect via my mobile provider, I only get IPv4/CGN. For me, this has been the case for quite a while, with multiple providers. "Mobile" is important for IPv6 migration. Without IPv6 accessibility from mobile networks, the IPv6 migration unfortunately is only engineering overhead because it will never lead to an actual migration. So, what is the opinion of the working group on this one? I did ask the Dutch regulator and they didn't seem to be interested at all in making the migration work. That worries me. Are things different in other countries? Examples we can point to? Geert Jan

Hello, Is there anyone in this group that would dare to speculate on the sudden drop in IPv6 adoption for my country, the Netherlands on this URL? https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-ad… The drop is best shown here: https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/project.php -- Marco
