The document outlines a long-term DNSSEC measurement experiment conducted by APNIC to assess end-user capability regarding IPv6 adoption, collecting data from random users globally. It employs a robust SQL database with charting via Google's API to present results, focusing on user behavior and preferences for different transport methods. The findings are published online, offering detailed data breakdowns that support further analysis and highlight the influence of user decisions on IPv6 deployment.

- 2. DNSSEC Measurements at APNIC • Longterm (3y) experiment measuring end-user capability – Flash advertisements, javascript – Random users worldwide, 350,000-1,000,000 per day for $200 – Series of non-displayed 1x1 pixels fetched • We get to configure the DNS name leading to the webserver • We run the Authoritative DNS servers for the names and the webserver • We get to run packet capture on all DNS and WWW traffic – Randomized names to ensure non-cached DNS data, collate results 2
- 3. How we know IPv6 is happening 1. Client DNS request has all of V4, V6 and DualStack transport enabled – We see if the clients Resolver path can handle IPv6 only DNS 2. Web client offered v4only, v6only, dualstack fetches – The Dualstack can indicate ‘happy eyeballs’ IPv6 preference 3. Correlate the resolver behavior with web client behavior – We also use the DNS data independently measuring DNSSEC and related DNS properties 3
- 4. New in 2014: consistent data & charting in all collections • We got with the 1980’s and adopted an SQL database backend • We also decided to adopt google chart API with a simple ‘timeline’ interface • All data available under a consistent URL form for Region, Economy, AS • Direct Data access coming soon – JSON, CSV 4
- 5. Results • All data published at – http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/ • Breakdowns by – Region (UN regional subdivision model, with iso3166 codes) – Economy – Autonomous System Number (per economy and individually) • Simple self-consistent URL form, easy to script – We can make data available for re-use with acknowledgement in your own reports, analysis – Same form used for DNSSEC, IPv6 and BGP data • Daily sampleset, tunable smoothing at draw time. 5

- 11. Whats driving IPv6 uptake? • You are! • You get to decide the pace of deployment in your own customer base – … within limits: if the CPE is self-owned then you’re captive to their upgrade rate • This is a fundamental capital investment decision. There are no major technology blockers 11
- 12. Why doesn’t this agree with other measurements? • We measure exclusively end-user capability and preference – Large random sampleset world wide – Not (yet) good coverage over Mobile devices • Other measures reflect capacity, bandwidth, traffic at IX or inter-provider • We adjust our model for our understanding of Internet-Populations per-economy – ITU sourced data, annual publication with growth model. 12
