RIPE NCC - World IPv6 Day Measurements

The RIPE NCC performed ongoing measurements related to World IPv6 Day, which took place on 8 June 2011. As a part of this effort, we monitored many of the participating websites from a number of vantage points:

Nodes of the RIPE NCC Test Traffic Measurements platform
Nodes of the Archipelago Measurement Infrastructure, kindly contributed by CAIDA
Nodes contributed by partners and other infrastructures, such as RIPE Atlas

From these vantage points, our monitoring effort periodically checked:

DNS entries — to check whether the World IPv6 Day participants had A/AAAA records
RTT distances using ping/ping6
Forward path discovery using traceroute and traceroute6
HTTP page fetches — over IPv4 and IPv6 when available

For this event, we've been measuring 60 participants from 53 vantage points, and we have executed 6,651,575 measurements between June 1-12, 2011.
