The study delves into the structural resilience and connectivity of the IPv6 Internet through an AS-level topology examination. It analyzes a dataset comprising 17,232 unique ASes and 10,000 unique IPv6 prefixes to reveal insights into the network's degree distribution, clustering patterns, and connectivity metrics. The findings emphasize the network's robustness, redundancy, and potential for strategic planning in an evolving Internet landscape.
The analysis uncovers that the average path length is approximately 3 hops, indicating a well-connected network with potential redundancy despite isolated components. Degree distribution highlights peripheral nodes in a sparse network while clustering analysis reveals clusters among ASes for enhanced robustness. The study also examines path redundancy, reachability, average path length, global clustering coefficient, and local clustering coefficients to assess network resilience.
Furthermore, insights from triangle count analysis showcase strong clustering within the network. The study concludes by emphasizing continuous monitoring and improvement of network connectivity as IPv6 adoption increases for effective design and strategic planning.
