FRP-watcher

An open-source tool for long-term monitoring of IPv6 Full Response Prefixes (FRP). It performs global IPv6 FRP probing and data collection using mature existing algorithms.

Analysis Results

BGP IPv6 Routing Prefix Analysis

We provide comprehensive analysis of BGP-announced IPv6 Fully Responsive Prefixes (FRPs) across different protocols. The following charts show the trends over time:

Daily New BGP Prefixes

Daily New Address Space Size

Cumulative Address Space Size (Deduplicated)

Cumulative Prefix Count (Deduplicated)

Key Features

• Deduplicated Analysis: All cumulative metrics are calculated after removing duplicate prefixes
• Multi-Protocol Support: Analysis across ICMPv6, TCP/80, TCP/443, and UDP/53 protocols
• Daily Updates: Data is updated daily with new measurements
• Visual Insights: Clear, professional charts for easy interpretation
