Hi all, Some folks in this WG may not know that I maintain a web page that shows accessibility to web, mail and DNS services via IPv6 across a number of domains. As I have just rewritten the script that generates it I thought I would take that opportunity to promote it a little. Back in 2007 at an Internet2 Joint Techs meeting Ron Broersma of DREN presented a talk on IPv6 adoption that included a coloured chart that showed a small number of Internet2 related domains and if they had IPv6 accessible web, mail and DNS. Basically the argument was that it was fine to have IPv6 plumbing but what were you doing with it (and the answer was not a lot). After chatting with Ron I decided to code up something and create a web page so I could report back any changes. Early in the piece the updates were ad hoc (probably driven by meeting deadlines) but eventually it was run by cron. Now it runs daily and works though a largish list of domains seeing if there are web, mail (smtp, submission and imap/pop), DNS, NTP, XMPP and SIP services available via IPv6. Also there is DNSSEC because something has to have worse deployment than IPv6 :-) Originally research and education domains dominated the list but over time I have added ISP/telcos and other commercial companies. There are probably zombie domains in the list too. Anyway that's enough of a background. If you are interested then have a look at <https://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/>. I am happy to add more domains if you want to suggest them. Regards, Mark.
