Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
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
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ipv6matrix.org">http://www.ipv6matrix.org</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you know anyone that would be interested.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
