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

Networks Running IPv6We can measure the percentage of networks running IPv6 by comparing the setof 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

IPv4 ASes: 42259IPv6 ASes: 6113ASes using only IPv4: 36270ASes using only IPv6: 124ASes using IPv4 and IPv6: 5989ASes using IPv4 or IPv6: 42383

2012 & WORLD IPv6 LAUNCH

Don’t be left behind

http://www.worldipv6launch.org/

Driving Global IPv6 Traffic!


11

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 trafficat 00:00 UTC

5X traffic peak

12

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


13

2012 World IPv6 Launch - real IPv6 traffic Exchange points showing IPv6 traffic spikes

DE-CIX Frankfurt AMS-IX Amsterdam

Interesting IPv6 traffic spike in Frankfurt prior to W6L

Checking global IPv6 routing – graphically!


http://bgp.he.net/

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.

19

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


20

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 …

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

Does this produce valid IPv6 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 – IPv6 Certification – Sages


From: <[email protected]>Date: Thu, May 27, 2010 at 11:32 PMSubject: Hurricane Electric IPv6 Update…* Attention Sages!

Hurricane Electric would like to send you an "IPv6" T-shirt!

Please log into http://ipv6.he.net/certification/, and verify your address information which will only be used for shipping out this T-shirt.

After making certain it is correct (remember to click "Update Info" if you made changes, before validating), you will see T-shirt size selections for S/M/L/XL/XXL, and a button that will submit your preferred shirt size and log that you have validated your address.

This is optional, and will only be sent to validated addresses.

We'll be adding on some points to your score for Sages that want to get a T-shirt!

We are looking to get the t-shirts out around the end of June. We need make sure to get enough of each size before sending them out to all of you. …

Hurricane Electric sends emailsaying “free IPv6 t-shirt”

for sage-level users

5,700++ t-shirts
