Python 2.7 alpha 1 was recently released. It contains a few bugfixes that I contributed to IPv6-enable imaplib and nntplib.

Every year in the Netherlands we have an event called “the glass house” by radio station 3FM to raise money for a charity.

This year the collected money will go to red cross foundation to help the fight against malaria!

This year the streams are reachable by IPv6. The IPv6 streams have an advantage over the regular stream because they have been upscaled to 3Mbit/s.

The streams are:

The RIPE Labs website features an interview with Alain Durand at the recent IETF 74 meeting. Alain discusses the type of IPv6 measurements he is doing at Comcast, together with the University of Pennsylvania.

Alain: Before we start I would like to stress that this is a long-term study with the aim to see how the amount of IPv6 content is increasing over time. This project is done in collaboration with Roch Guerin of the University of Pennsylvania.

 

RIPE Labs: How many sites do you see as being accessible through both IPv4 and IPv6?

 

 

Alain: For every scan we measured the percentage of sites from the top  one million Alexa ranked web sites that are accessible via both IPv4 and IPv6. There is a link to the raw data on the bottom of each page [seeFigure-1 below].
