FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bajpai, Vaibhav <v.bajpai@jacobs-university.de> Date: Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 3:54 PM Subject: [request]: host a probe for v6 measurements To: "ipv6-ops@lists.cluenet.de" <ipv6-ops@lists.cluenet.de> Cc: "Bajpai, Vaibhav" <v.bajpai@jacobs-university.de> Dear v6ops, 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.

Please see [b] for more details: [b] http://goo.gl/PwD4yN 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. [c] http://vaibhavbajpai.com/documents/papers/proceedings/ lsmp-comst-2015.pdf 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 Research Impact --------------- For more details, please see: Measuring Web Similarity from Dual-stacked Hosts Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) 2016. http://vaibhavbajpai.com/documents/papers/proceedings/ dualstack-simweb-cnsm-2016.pdf Measuring the Effects of Happy Eyeballs Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) 2016. http://vaibhavbajpai.com/documents/papers/proceedings/ dualstack-he-anrw-2016.pdf Measuring YouTube from Dual-Stacked Hosts Passive and Active Measurement Conference (PAM) 2015. http://vaibhavbajpai.com/documents/papers/proceedings/ dualstack-youtube-pam-2015.pdf IPv4 versus IPv6 - Who connects faster?
