Yet another Merit (ASN 237) IPv6 Darknet in the last months?

Post #1 of 4 (2106 views)

I know that Merit run an IPv6 darknet in 2012, but, but looking at http://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/plotbgp.php?country= (showing the amount of not aggregated announced prefixes based on route views.org data) it appears that ASN 237 had announced 2600::/12, 2800::/12, … From 2013-10-28 to 2014-01-28.

Was there any announcement of this? I googled without success :-(

Thanks in advance for any pointer

Three pointers - the paper: http://www.merit.edu/research/pdf/2013/ipv6_darknet_paper_r6098.pdf

the talk about it: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/12-feb-2014.webcast.karir.understanding.ipv6-internet-radiation.mp4

and the resulting controversy: http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2014-March/028030.html

Thanks for the paper pointers but this paper is about the experiment in
2012/2013 while I was rather referring to another wide scale test in
2013/2014. I knew about the former but not the latter

I'm not on the research team, but as far as I'm aware
the tests were part of the same project (the LOA's for
the prefixes ran until the end of 2013). I'm sure
Manish Karir (mkarir@merit.edu) would be happy to
answer any specific questions you have about the tests.
