[AfrIPv6-Discuss] [ipv6-wg] [request]: host a probe for v6 measurements

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi all,

My friend Vaibhav (in copy), is doing a study since a couple of years ago, about the quality of service of IPv6 in residential/household networks.

If you have native IPv6 service at your home (it is not targeted to corporate networks) and are willing to host one of the devices that take care of the measurements (it is basically a TP-Link router with a special software), contact him. He will tell you if it is possible and the steps required.

There are not too many devices available, so hosts will be selected in the order of the request, etc.

You need to tell him:

    - v4 and v6 ASN (or provider name)
    - location (city-level granularity)
    - network type (see above table for an example)
    - shipment address

Please, contact him in private.

Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: [ipv6-wg] [request]: host a probe for v6 measurements

    Dear v6-WG,
    
    We are (again) looking for volunteers with native IPv6 lines at home to help
    us in our v6 measurement research.
    
    
    Background
    ----------
    
    We are interested in measuring IPv6 performance from home. Our measurement
    tests come bundled with a SamKnows probe.  We currently have ~80 SamKnows
    probes deployed over the globe. The google map [a] shows where these probes
    are currently deployed.

    |  RESIDENTIAL           |  55  |         |  RIPE    |  42  |
    |  NREN / RESEARCH       |  11  |         |  ARIN    |  29  |
    |  BUSINESS / DATACENTER |  09  |         |  APNIC   |  07  |
    |  OPERATOR LAB          |  04  |         |  AFRINIC |  01  |
    |  IXP                   |  01  |         |  LACNIC  |  01  |
    |------------------------+------|         |----------+------|
    
    This is the distribution of our current deployment by network type and by RIR
    region. Please see [b] for more details:

    Request
    -------
    
    If you receive native IPv6 at home (or know someone who does), it would be
    great if you can host a SamKnows probe for us. The probe will run standard
    SamKnows tests and our IPv6 tests.  We prefer measuring from home networks and
    over a longitudinal period of time (say multiple years). Please see [c] if
    you'd like to learn more about the SamKnows platform.

    Action
    -------
    
    Let me know if you’re interested, and I can share details on how to get the
    probe to you. We only have limited number of SamKnows probes. We will process
    the requests on first come first serve basis.
    
    Would be nice if you can share these details in your response:
    - v4 and v6 ASN (or provider name)
    - location (city-level granularity)
    - network type (see above table for an example)
    - shipment address
