Project:
This project, in collaboration with
CAIDA,
seeks to characterize the status of IPv6 deployment while simultaneously
advancing the state-of-the-art in network measurement science and technology.
Abstract:
Description: In collaboration with UCSD, we have undertaken
three transformative research tasks to explore the evolution of IPv6
deployment: (1) providing a comprehensive view of the IPv6 topology
from core to edge; (2) correlating the rate of IPv6 deployment with
socioeconomic parameters; and (3) conducting quantitative assessment
of IPv6 performance, including the impact of transition technologies
and traffic characteristics. A primary result from this project is to
improve the fidelity, scope, and usability of IPv6 measurement
technology. We have also built tools to measure the characteristics
of IPv6 adoption at the edge and compare characteristics of IPv4 and
IPv6 connectivity. The resulting data sets serve as input to our work
in correlating these observations with other technical and
socioeconomic data: address allocation, available geographic and
traffic data, ISP organizational structure (commercial, government,
educational), and political/regulatory factors influencing IPv6
deployment. Finally, we are working to improve the state of
quantitative modeling of the IPv6 transition by gathering rigorous
empirical data on the extent and effectiveness of converter
technologies, investigating prevailing concerns over IPv6 performance
and path inflation, and analyzing actual IPv6 traffic workloads on a
major U.S. backbone.
