RIPE NCC - World IPv6 Launch Measurements

The RIPE NCC will perform ongoing measurements related to World IPv6 Launch, which takes place on 6 June 2012. As a part of this effort, we will monitor many of the participating websites from a number of vantage points:

Nodes of the RIPE NCC Test Traffic Measurements platform
Nodes of the Archipelago Measurement Infrastructure, kindly contributed by CAIDA
Nodes contributed by partners and other infrastructures, such as RIPE Atlas

From these vantage points, our monitoring effort periodically checks:

DNS entries — to check whether the World IPv6 Launch participants have A/AAAA records
Round Trip Times (RTTs) using ping/ping6
Forward path discovery using traceroute and traceroute6
HTTP page fetches — over IPv4 and IPv6 when available

For the IPv6 Launch event, we've been measuring 60 participants from 53 vantage points, and we have executed 18,049,214 measurements between May 19 (00 UTC) and June 18 (00 UTC) 2012.
