For World IPv6 Launch, the RIPE NCC offered a RIPEstat DNS widget. This article looks at the response to this offering.


Introduction

World IPv6 Launch , on 6 June 2012, encouraged companies to permanently enable IPv6 services.  The RIPE NCC participated in World IPv6 Launch in a number of ways, including through the creation of an embeddable RIPEstat DNS widget . This article examines how these this services were used. An upcoming article will examine what the RIPE NCC observed in terms of IPv6 participation.

RIPEstat Widget

The RIPEstat DNS widget was embedded on more than 50 distinct pages in the days leading up to World IPv6 Launch.

Between 25 May and 10 June the widget was used a total of 4,225 times. Two sites maintained by RIPE NCC contributed about two-thirds of the traffic: the main RIPEstat page and the World IPv6 Launch measurements page . About 40% of the pages which embedded the widget saw it used 10 or more times. The graph in figure 2 shows the distribution of access among pages with 10 or more uses after the top two pages are excluded.

Some of the websites (and people) who embedded the widget were:

As could be expected, access increased from when the widget was released before peaking on 6 June (see Figure 4).
