IPv6 deployment is increasing as IPv4 address allocations near exhaustion. Many large organizations, including the Department of Defense (DOD), have mandated the transition to IPv6. With the transition to IPv6, new techniques need to be developed to accurately measure, characterize, and map IPv6 networks. This thesis presents a method of profiling the uninterrupted system availability, or uptime, of IPv6 addressable devices. The techniques demonstrated in this study infer system restarts and the operational uptime for IPv6 network devices with a specific focus on IPv6 routers on the Internet. Approximately 50,000 IPv6 addresses were probed continuously from March to June 2014, using the Too Big Trick (TBT) to induce the remote targets to return fragmented responses. By evaluating the responses, the uptime for approximately 35% of the IPv6 addresses can be inferred.

A management perspective of the Department of Defense (DOD) Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPV6) transition plan, where it is today, and where it needs to be by the year 2008
Hart, Peter W. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-09);This thesis focused on the management aspects of the DoD IPv6 Transition Plan. It addressed the management required to transition the DoD computer systems from IPv4 to IPv6. The study identified how computer systems will ...
