Hello everyone. My name is Elliott Karpilovsky, a student at Princeton =
University. In collaboration with Alex Gerber (AT&T Research), Dan Pei =
(AT&T Research), Jennifer Rexford (Princeton University), and Aman =
Shaikh (AT&T Research), we studied the extent of IPv6 deployment at both =
global and local levels. Our conclusions can be summarized by the =
following three points:
1.) IPv6 deployment is not seen as a pressing issue.
2.) We saw a lack of meaningful IPv6 traffic (mostly DNS/Domain and ICMP =
messages), possibly indicating that IPv6 networks are still =
experimental.
3.) Studying Teredo traffic suggested that it may be used for NAT =
busting by P2P networks.
Our paper (submitted and presented at PAM 2009) can be found at =
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~elliottk/ipv6study.html . If you have =
comments or feedback with respect to these results, please feel free to =
express them.
Thank you.
