[IPv6crawler-wg] IPv6 Matrix July 2017 results

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Hello everyone,

this is just to let you know that I have managed to get another full run
of the IPv6 Matrix going and the results are now displayed on
http://www.ipv6matrix.org

The last full run was as far back as November 2016. Since then we have
suffered from hardware failure, twice, and then we had to shut down the
servers again in the middle of a .COM run (which takes over a month to
complete) and both machines were physically but successfully moved
elsewhere. They are about 8 or 9 years old and have run continuously
since 2010, so we're dealing with rugged veterans by now. Thanks to
Lance Draper from the University of Southampton for having been kind to
the servers.

We also looked at the possibility of virtualising both servers, but this
would require one or more people who are versed in Python, Json, SQLite,
Centos 5.0 and Ubuntu to port the various bits of script and software to
the virtual package. It is complex work and although we have a little
bit of funding left over at Southampton University, nobody has so far
stepped forward to the challenge.

Let me know if you know anyone that would be interested.

On the results themselves, I haven't had a change to go through them in
detail yet but the main surprise is the lack of global increase in
uptake of IPv6 in information providers. It looks like the early
adopters have implemented dual stack but there is still a long way to go.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
