“…While significant prior research has characterized the evolution, routing, and performance of IPv6 [6,15,5], less attention has been given to understanding whether IPv6 infrastructure is being deployed using separate hardware or by adding IPv6 to existing machines. I.e., are providers using separate IPv4 and IPv6 servers to host the same web content, or using single "dual-stacked" servers?…”

Passive and Active Measurement

Abstract. We present, validate, and apply an active measurement technique that ascertains whether candidate IPv4 and IPv6 server addresses are "siblings," i.e., assigned to the same physical machine. In contrast to prior efforts limited to passive monitoring, opportunistic measurements, or end-client populations, we propose an active methodology that generalizes to all TCP-reachable devices, including servers. Our method extends prior device fingerprinting techniques to improve their feasibility in modern environments, and uses them to support measurement-based detection of sibling interfaces. We validate our technique against a diverse set of 65 web servers with known sibling addresses and find it to be over 97% accurate with 99% precision. Finally, we apply the technique to characterize the top ∼6,400 Alexa IPv6-capable web domains, and discover that a DNS name in common does not imply that the corresponding IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are on the same machine, network, or even autonomous system. Understanding sibling and non-sibling relationships gives insight not only into IPv6 deployment and evolution, but also helps characterize the potential for correlated failures and susceptibility to certain attacks.

Abstract. We consider the problem of inferring IPv6 router uninterrupted system availability, or uptime, from a remote vantage point without privileged access. Uptime inference is important to broader efforts to measure and characterize the availability of critical infrastructure, provides insight into network operations, and has subtle security implications. Our approach utilizes active probes to periodically elicit IPv6 fragment identifiers from IPv6 router interfaces, and analyzes the resulting identifier time series for reboots. We demonstrate the approach's potential by characterizing 21,539 distinct IPv6 router interfaces over a five-month period. We find evidence of clustered reboot events, popular maintenance windows, and correlation with globally visible control plane data. Our results, validated by five ASes, provide initial insight into the current state of IPv6 router availability.

“…Others point out that the ipv4 format simply did not have the space to accommodate a compatible extension. 3 Today, along with the upgrade to ipv6 -which as stated is proceeding extremely sluggishly, although some believe that is changing (Czyz et al 2013) -an international market has emerged for ipv4 addresses that have been allocated but not yet used (Mueller and Kuerbis 2013). The non-transition to ipv6, the trade in ipv4 addresses and the persistent use of technical tricks (middleware) allowing multiple users to 'share' a single ip address are affecting the stability of the Internet and leading to fragmentation.…”

The Public Core of the Internet: An international Agenda for Internet Governance

It advised the Dutch government to make cyberspace and Internet governance a serious priority for its foreign policy. The successful organisation of the Global Conference on Cyber Space in April 2015 (gccs2015) in The Hague provided the Dutch government with an excellent stepping stone to promote its goals of a safe and open Internet through the global arena of cyber diplomacy. Dutch cyber diplomacy will be intensified in the wake of this conference, building -amongst others-on the insights and recommendations put forward in this report.The core messages in the original report and in this book are not limited to the Netherlands however, but have a global appeal. Its main argument is that the Internet's infrastructure and core protocols should be regarded as a global public good that is in need of protection against unwarranted interventions by states and other parties. Its main policy recommendation is that states should work towards establishing an international standard that identifies the Internet's core protocols as a neutral zone in which governments, pursuing their national interests, are prohibited from interfering. This is a goal that is of crucial importance for all states whose societies and economies depend on the integrity and functionality of the Internet. Increasingly, that is the vast majority of states.The original report was drawn up by a project team headed by Dennis Broeders, senior research fellow at the Council and professor of Technology and Society at Erasmus University Rotterdam. The other members of the group were Erik Schrijvers and Lisa Vermeer, both research fellows at the Council. Member of the Council Mark Bovens was also involved in the project.While writing this report, the project group consulted numerous experts in the fields of Internet governance and cybersecurity. Their comments were extremely valuable and the Council would like to thank the interviewees for their time and effort. The Council would also like to thank Jan van den Berg, Nico van Eijk, Marieke de Goede, Erik Huizer and Corien Prins, who commented on earlier versions of the Dutch report. Prof. André Knottnerus Chairman Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy summaryThe Internet's core of key protocols and infrastructure can be considered a global public good that provides benefits to everyone in the world. Countering the growing state interference with this public core requires a new international agenda for Internet governance that departs from the notion of a global public good.internet governance between the technical and the political Everyday life without the Internet has become unimaginable. It is inextricably interwoven with our social lives, our purchasing behaviour, our work, our relationship with the government and, increasingly, with our everyday objects, from smart meters to the cars we drive and the moveable bridges we cross en route. For a long time, Internet governance was the exclusive domain of what is known in Internet circles as the 'technical community'. That community laid the fo...
