Apologies to those cross-posted on the V6 Tech list:
Hi all,
I am just putting together a couple of graphs (see attached spreadsheet).
comparing historical V4 deployment (currently looking at number of published
A records as my metric) to the current v6 deployment.
Rather than make a direct comparison of v6 vs v4 AS's etc as in Geoff
Hustons reports, I am looking to show that the size of the v6 Internet is
roughly equivalent to the size of X historical point in time of the v4
Internet.
Currently using the DNS A/AAAA record metrics it looks like the current size
of V6 Internet is around the same size of the historical 1998 V4 internet.
I know using A/AAAA records isn't the greatest of metrics, but with the
point in mind of showing historical comparative sizings is I think useful
for showing the need to be engaged actively in deploying V6.
Any further suggested approaches and especially data sources for furnishing
this investigation appreciated.
Kind regards
-JoelW
