IPv6 Deployment on the Internet
AAAA Records in Farsight DNSDB Passive DNS
We’ve previously reported on the Internet’s use of IPv4 address space as seen in count data from Farsight DNSDB. As part of that work, we mapped the Internet’s IPv4 address space for a 90 day period, visualizing that data using space filling Hilbert Curve “heatmaps” plus a series of violin plots. This is the IPv6 “companion volume” to that IPv4 report, delivering similar insights for IPv6 counts and unique RRsets over a 90 day period.
We believe this is a unique snapshot of domain-related IPv6 deployment on the public Internet as seen in passive DNS data.
