4. 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

7. IT’S TWENTY TWELVE …
IPv6 BY THE NUMBERS

8. 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.

9. Is IPv6 routing/interconnect/peering prevalent?
~70% average increase per year!

2012 & WORLD IPv6 LAUNCH
Don’t be left behind

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 traffic
at 00:00 UTC
5X traffic peak
10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 11

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
10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 12

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

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.

16. http://bgp.he.net/ - Searching on ASN, IP, etc.
ASN AS5713
IPv4 address 196.21.79.50
Search IPv4 block 196.4.160.0/23
command IPv6 address 2001:4200:ffff:a::1
IPv6 block 2001:4208::/32

10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 18

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
10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 19

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
10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 20

21. 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 …

22. Visualizing IPv6 routing within India
 Full country listing at http://bgp.he.net/country/IN
http://bgp.he.net/country/IN
ASNs sorted by Adjacency count
10 Oct 2012 Martin J Levy - Hurricane Electric - Working Together to Deploy IPv6 22

23. Visualizing IPv6 routing within India
 Routing propagation graphs for four providers in India
 These change all the time; it’s best to look online for latest BGP propagation
Caveat: Not all links will show within these graphs
