Hello all,<br>
<br>
another update: the first complete run using the new TLDs has
completed! <br>
You can view the results up to February 2016 from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ipv6matrix.org">http://www.ipv6matrix.org</a><br>
<br>
In adding new gTLDs we have hit a snag, although this snag does not
significantly affect overall results since it appears to only affect
a tiny number of domains.<br>
<br>
I am speaking about Internationalized Top Level Domains (IDNs):<br>
<br>
xn--3e0b707e xn--80adxhks xn--90ais xn--j1amh xn--pgbs0dh
xn--wgbl6a<br>
xn--4gbrim xn--80asehdb xn--d1acj3b xn--p1ai xn--q9jyb4c<br>
<br>
Each of these is the ASCII equivalent of a non ASCII domain name.
Whist the Crawler works well with them and we are able to collect
all of the data pertaining to crawls in IDNs, the program that
builds the Database uses SQLite. Until now, database entries made
use of domain names that were ASCII - but IDNs use a double dash
"--" in the domain. SQLite coughs on DASH - so we have not been able
to produce the database needed for the displaying of the results
when including IDNs.<br>
<br>
Until we have a workaround, I have manually isolated data collected
for IDNs, which means we still collect them, but we will not take
them into account in the final database results. As I have said,
this is a tiny subset of domains: 760 entries out of a total of 1
Million domains.<br>
<br>
I am *still* drafting a very long article for RIPE labs. In fact, we
might publish this in two parts. In the meantime, the results appear
to be somehow consistent with results of other tracking projects,
some of which use other methods to track IPv6 adoption:<br>
<br>
- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/">http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/</a><br>
- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/">https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/</a><br>
- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/">http://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/</a><br>
<br>
We now have 306 Gb of comma separated value text data in store,
tracing back the spread of the IPv6 Internet since July 2010.
(294Gb in November 2015)<br>
<br>
I look forward to your kind feedback.<br>
<br>
Warmest regards,<br>
Olivier<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Two worthy pieces of news regarding the IPv6 Matrix Project ( <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.ipv6matrix.org"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ipv6matrix.org">http://www.ipv6matrix.org</a></a>
):<br>
<br>
1. I have updated the Web site with the latest results ending in
late October - hence noting a Crawl display date of November 2015.<br>
We now have 294 Gb of comma separated value text data in store,
tracing back the spread of the IPv6 Internet since July 2010.<br>
Altogether, we ran the text approximately 36 times on all 1
million Alexa busiest Domain names. This represented testing of
about 6.5 million hosts, carefully collecting traceroute
information for each and every of them. We now have a very unique
database that is showing the spread of the IPv6 Internet
information sources worldwide.<br>
<br>
2. Today I took out my very dusty Linux & Python gloves and
performed a much needed update to the IPv6 Matrix Crawler input
database, including the Alexa 1 million list as well as GeoIP
Databases.<br>
<br>
Indeed, the Alexa database of the world's 1 million busiest Web
sites dated from the Crawler's first inception in the first half
of 2010.<br>
We're more than 5 years later!<br>
<br>
In a way, keeping the same input database has kept the base of
crawls the steady thus the ability to compare results was
possible. However, the flip-side of the coin is that we are ending
up with more and more domain names marked as being dysfunctional.
Nearly 5% of the domain names in the database were unreachable.
The updated input database should resolve this, but we might also
see a jump in some results. It will be interesting to see what the
next run yields.<br>
Why do we not update the input database more often? Because buried
in that database are the domain names of the people who wanted to
opt out over the years. Having never thought about this, I spent
several hours tracing back 5 years of emails of people complaining
about the crawl triggering their firewalls. I put together a
blacklist of domain names I have manually deleted from the crawl
input files. <br>
The blacklist, as it stands now:<br>
<br>
Deleted:<br>
<br>
it-mate.co.uk<br>
indianic.com<br>
your-server.de<br>
catacombscds.com<br>
dewlance.com<br>
tcs.com<br>
printweb.de<br>
nocser.net<br>
shoppingnsales.com<br>
bsaadmail.com<br>
epayservice.ru<br>
4footyfans.com <br>
guitarspeed99.com<br>
saga.co.uk<br>
<br>
Already gone from the current Alexa list:<br>
<br>
infinityautosurf.com<br>
canada-traffic.com<br>
usahitz.com<br>
jawatankosong.com.my<br>
4d.com.my<br>
fitnessuncovered.co.uk<br>
kualalumpurbookfair.com<br>
xgen-it.com<br>
bpanet.de<br>
edns.de<br>
back2web.de<br>
waaaouh.com<br>
every-web.com<br>
w3sexe.com<br>
gratuits-web.com<br>
france-mateur.com<br>
pliagedepapier.com<br>
immobilieretparticuliers.com<br>
chronobio.com<br>
stickers-origines.com<br>
tailor-made.co.uk<br>
<br>
With these out of the input files, we are able to start the next
crawl. <b><br>
I hope I have not missed any complaints, but if I have, this is
advance notice that we might receive a few emails in the
forthcoming weeks. We might also receive a few emails from sites
that have appeared on the Alexa 1 million list since 2010.</b><br>
<br>
Back to this list, the excellent filtering program which was used
to process the original list and clean it up was used again for
the modern list. The Alexa list had a number of domain names which
were actually sub-directories in the past, as well as some invalid
domains. Alexa has since tightened its act. The latest Alexa list
is much cleaner. It holds 999998 valid domains vs. 984587 domains
for the original 2010 list.<br>
<br>
Finally, new gTLDs have now appeared in the Alexa list, including
some Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs). The world is indeed a
very different place!<br>
It will be interesting to see how the Crawler as well as all other
scripts to process the information into displayable data on the
Web server, will cope with these:<br>

In the meantime I'd like to cite again the Nile University Crew
expertly led by Sameh El Ansary for designing and coding a
Crawler's that been able to cope with shifting through 5 years of
DNS junk with minimal maintenance, save the love and attention I
give the servers by keeping them up to date with patches so they
don't end up toppling over. They haven't been rebooted in 464 days
and I am crossing fingers for their well-being.<br>
And of course, thanks to the University of Southampton Crew who
built the excellent 2nd version of the Web Site under Tim Chown's
supervision.<br>
<br>
I am still writing an article for RIPE Labs - just struggling to
find the time to finish it, but getting there.<br>
<br>
Warmest regards,<br>
