Abstract

Due to its large address space, IPv6 remains a challenge for Internet measurements. Thus, IPv6 scans often resort to hitlists that, however, mainly cover core Internet infrastructure and servers. Contrarily, a recent approach to source addresses leveraging NTP servers promises to discover more user-related hosts. Yet, an in-depth analysis of hosts found by this approach is missing and its impact remains unclear.
