[AusNOG] IPv6 status in ANZ

It's been about seven years since I last nagged at AusNOG about the poor 
state of IPv6 adoption in Oz and it hasn't got any better since :-( And 
I don't mean the plumbing, I mean the services,

I have recently rewritten the script I use to look for IPv6 services 
(web, mail, dns, ntp, xmpp and sip) and as part of that process I 
leveraged PeeringDB to find all the domains that claim to connect to an 
IX in either Australia or New Zealand. As a result I now have two 
sections on the web page that collect them all together.

As an added bonus I also look for DNSSEC, and its deployment makes IPv6 
look like a roaring success!

The Australian IX member section is

<https://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/#auix>

and the New Zealand IX member section is

<https://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/#nzix>

Of course there will be organisations in both lists but I only probe 
them once (a day).

Start from the top of the page if you want a better understanding of 
what is being checked (and see some graphs) and check out the link under 
the domain name to find "diagnostics" about the tests.

Regards,
Mark.
