Arbor Networks to Discuss IPv6 Inter-Domain Traffic Trends at NANOG44(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, CA, October 8 / MARKET WIRE/ -- WHO Danny McPherson, Vice President and Chief Security Officer, Arbor Networks Dr. Craig Labovitz, Chief Scientist, Arbor Networks Dr. Scott Iekel-Johnson, Principal Software Engineer, Arbor Networks Haakon Ringberg, Research Assistant, Arbor Networks WHEN October 13, 2008 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. PDT WHERE NANOG44 Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles (Emerald Room) 506 South Grand Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90071-2607 http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog44/index.php TOPIC A One Year Measurement Study of IPv6 Inter-Domain Traffic in the Internet DESCRIPTION Recent concern over the impending exhaustion of IPv4 allocations has re-energized interest in the status of IPv6 deployment in the Internet. While previous studies have explored rates of IPv6 registry allocations or BGP statistics, little data exists on the overall level of IPv6 traffic. In this talk, Arbor Networks researchers will present the results of a one year study on IPv6 traffic in the Internet from July 2007 to July 2008. In cooperation with the University of Michigan and over 90 Internet providers, Arbor leveraged commercial traffic probes to measure inter-domain IPv6 traffic (both native and tunneled) in the Internet. Their dataset covered 91 ISPs including one quarter of the tier 1 ISPs and a sizable percentage of the regional / PTT providers in North America and EMA. In all, Arbor monitored 2,389 peering and backbone routers, 278,268 customer and peering interfaces and some 5 terabits per second of average daily Internet inter-domain traffic. As a result, Arbor researchers will report on both the overall level of IPv6 traffic as well as regional differences and annual trends in IPv6 traffic growth. ABOUT ARBOR NETWORKS, INC.
