[IPv6crawler-wg] IPv6 Matrix July 2017 results

[Tim Chown]

Hi Olivier,

This looks good, thanks for the update.  It’ still the best-looking visualisation tool for IPv6 adoption!

I’m still a Visiting Fellow at Southampton, so can try again to advertise for good student(s) to take on the virtualisation task.  I don’t really know the effort that would be involved, in detail.  Do we not have contacts with companies providing virtualisation solutions who might do it pro-bono for ISOC?

Odd the take-up hasn’t grown, esp. with the recent default provision of IPv6 on Cloudflare.

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.

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.
