Looking for historical Data on V6
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

Thanks Andy,
this data doesn't go back far enough tho,
I am trying to find the point at which the v4 internet and the current v6
internet match in size.
Using bgp data may be another route to pursue if I can get some older data.
Based on some simple linear regressions on the number of domains registered,
and assuming that prior to the dot com bubble a domain registration was
roughly equivalent to A >= 1 and thus a fairly highly correlated measure of
host count (not in frequency but in relative proportion), and comparing to
current V6 AAAA DNS records info, I am getting a rough period of around
96-98 sometime.
