“…Among them, source-route-based alias resolution algorithms use IPv6 source address feature to resolve IPv6 alias addresses, mainly including Atlas 13 and Route Positional Method (RPM). 14 However, these methods require the target host to support User Datagram Protocol (UDP) detection, and the IPv6 source routing option has been deprecated in RFC5095. 15 So, these methods are difficult to apply to large-scale IPv6 alias resolution.…”

SummaryWith the promotion and application of IPv6 in the world, there is a growing demand for IPv6 alias resolution. How to resolve IPv6 alias efficiently and accurately becomes an urgent problem to be solved. After analyzing the features of IPv6 addresses, this paper proposes a large‐scale adaptive IPv6 alias resolution method based on fingerprint information by combining Too‐Big Trick, UAv6, APD, and other alias resolution algorithms. It sends ICMPv6 probe packets to different types of IPv6 addresses to get the fingerprint information of target hosts. After filtering the classified addresses, our proposed alias resolution method is adaptively selected to resolve alias addresses. In the experiment, we use multi‐thread method to resolve the aliases of large‐scale IPv6 addresses, which greatly improves the efficiency of detection. Meanwhile, we use IPv6 datasets collected from the organizations RIPE and CAIDA. By comparing with Speedtrap and Too‐Big Trick, we confirm the accuracy of this method and obtain more alias pairs.

“…Because of the protocol-level differences between IPv4 and IPv6, prior work on IPv6 alias resolution has sought protocol features in IPv6 that could be exploited to resolve aliases, in particular the IPv6 source routing feature (e.g. [29,23,22]). However, the IPv6 source routing has been deprecated [1] and the number of probes required scale O(N 2 ) with the number of interfaces to compare.…”

Impediments to resolving IPv6 router aliases have precluded understanding the emerging router-level IPv6 Internet topology. In this work, we design, implement, and validate the first Internet-scale alias resolution technique for IPv6. Our technique, speedtrap, leverages the ability to induce fragmented IPv6 responses from router interfaces in a particular temporal pattern that produces distinguishing per-router fingerprints. Our algorithm surmounts three fundamental challenges to Internet-scale IPv6 alias resolution using fragment identifier values: (1) unlike for IPv4, the identifier counters on IPv6 routers have no natural velocity, (2) the values of these counters are similar across routers, and (3) the packet size required to collect inferences is 46 times larger than required in IPv4. We demonstrate the efficacy of the technique by producing router-level Internet IPv6 topologies using measurements from CAIDA's distributed infrastructure. Our preliminary work represents a step toward understanding the Internet's IPv6 router-level topology, an important objective with respect to IPv6 network resilience, security, policy, and longitudinal evolution.

“…For instance, the elimination of in-network fragmentation and the simplification of the IPv6 header prevents the trivial reapplication of IPv4 techniques that utilize the IPID field [19]. Alias resolution through IPv6 source-routing has been explored in Atlas [20], RPM [15], and the "option header method" [14]. Given a potential alias pair (x, y), Atlas performs a UDP traceroute to y via x with the hop limit set to expire at x and relies on the fact that routers will generally process the routing extension header before checking the hop limit.…”

Abstract. Discovering router-level IPv6 topologies is important to understanding IPv6 growth, structure, and evolution and relation to IPv4. This work presents a fingerprint-based IPv6 alias resolution technique that induces fragmented responses from IPv6 router interfaces. We leverage the way in which IPv6 implements fragmentation to provide reliable inferences. We demonstrate perfect alias resolution accuracy in a controlled environment, and on a small subset of the production IPv6 Internet for which we have ground-truth. Internet-wide testing finds that over 70% of IPv6 interfaces probed respond to the test. Our promising results suggest a valuable technique to aid IPv6 topology discovery.
