From Megabits to Terabits: Ethernet Celebrates Its Birthday
• 10 min read
Exactly fifty years ago, the first concept of the computer networks we know today as Ethernet was designed. It has evolved from a thick coaxial cable connecting computers in a single location to the most common way of connecting networks of all sizes via twisted pair and optical fibre.
Even though the percentage of DNSSEC reverse delegations is low, it actually grew twice since my similar measurement in 2018 :) https://ripe77.ripe.net/presentations/135-DS_updates_in_RIPE_DB.pdf
“Any statistics from the recent RIPE 86 in Rotterdam ?”
Hello Éric, during RIPE 86, the amount of devices connected to the main Wi-Fi network peaked around 850 while the amount of DHCPv4 leases peaked around 180 devices. This means that about 79 % of all devices connected to the network were running IPv6-only. I confirmed this also by looking at DHCP DISCOVER messages - 79 % of unique MAC addresses requested DHCP option 108 during DHCP handshake.
“Great article, thank you. It would be great if an 'IPv6-mostly' WiFi-network would be available at future RIPE meetings.”
Hello Marco, this has been already the case for RIPE 85 and we will continue having main network IPv6-mostly for future meetings as well.
