Dear ipv6 hackers,

We are currently looking for volunteers with native IPv6 lines to help us in
our v6 measurement research.



8<--------- Background
We are interested in measuring IPv6 performance from home. As part of the
LEONE project [1], we have developed measurement tests that compare
performance over IPv4 and IPv6 to: a) Dual-stacked websites and b) YouTube
content delivery network (in collaboration with Aalto University). The tests
comes bundled with a LEONE SamKnows probe.

We currently have ~64 Vantage points (VP). Each VP runs a Leone SamKnows
probe. The google map [2] shows where these probes are deployed.

We prefer measuring from home networks, but are also open to deploying probes
elsewhere. Here is the current distribution of probes by network type:

|----------------+--------------|
| TYPE | # (PROBES) |
|----------------+--------------|
| Residential | 42 |
| Research/NREN | 9 |
| Operator Lab | 5 |
| IXP | 1 |
| Business | 3 |
| Data Center | 4 |
| | |
| Total | 64 |
|----------------+--------------|



8<--------- Request:
If you receive native IPv6 at home (or elsewhere), it would be great if you
can host a LEONE SamKnows probe for us. The probe will run standard SamKnows
tests [3] and our IPv6 tests. All of these are active measurement tests only.

8<--------- Action:
Let me know if you’re interested, and I can share details on how to get the
probe to you. We only have limited number of LEONE SamKnows probes. We will
process the requests on first come first serve basis.
