IPv6 Monitor

internet Technology

I love graphs. I also love learning about IPv6. So when I saw this research on IPv6 monitoring by Comcast and University of Pennsylvania, i just had to repost.


Notice in the above graph how IPv6 reachability has increased significantly during October 2009. Although 0.159% is very low, you have to give credit to it at least. The Internet’s millions of ipv4 nodes took more than a decade to be built.


And here’s a comparison of IPv4 vs. IPv6 reachable websites.

Here’s the link to Ripe Labs’ interview with Alain Durand of Comcast last December. This week, Comcast started its IPv6 trial plans. Visit them at comcast6.net.

UPDATE: An interesting take on /64s and M&Ms HERE.

    Fantastic article.

    This is the first year that has been ‘really bad’ for v4, as well as ‘really good’ for v6 deployment, so you can expect to see this trend continue into 2010. See http://www.andyd.net/2010/2010-will-be-a-bad-year-for-ipv4/ for an explanation of what I mean!
