Together with a colleague, I founded a QUIC Interest Group that brings together researchers and students with an interest in QUIC. Interests cover performance measurements, the analysis of different libraries but also Internet-wide measurements to evaluate QUIC deployments.

IPv6 Hitlist Service

Published: July 20, 2022

Alongside our IMC 2022 publication we updated the IPv6 Hitlist Service. We deployed the following updates:

• We removed all responses to the UDP/53 scan injected by the Great Firewall of China (historically and for future scans)
• We added new sources increasing the number of responsive addresses by roughly 5 Million to 7.2 Million. Most addresses are from different target generation algorithms but also new passive sources.

We furthermore suggest that research relying on the IPv6 Hitlist evaluate whether addresses from fully responsive prefixes (aliased prefixes) should be included. For more information, we refer to our paper.
