ipv6 and 1e100.net
I saw this weird article about 1e100.net the other day, and I was just poking around and realized how google.com traffic is getting tracked as 1e100.net
It’s via ipv6. Check this out:
$ host ipv6.google.com ipv6.google.com is an alias for ipv6.l.google.com. ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::63 ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::6a ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::69 ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::68 ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::67 ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:b006::93 $ host 2001:4860:b006::63 7.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.6.0.0.b.0.6.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer pv-in-x67.1e100.net.
So, if you’re on an IPv6 enabled connection (as maybe some corporations are, and then they NAT to IPv4 or something) anyway, if you hit ipv6.google.com, then someone will see traffic to the IPv6 addrs listed above, whose reverse-DNS points back at 1e100.net instead of back at google.com.
I’m guessing that this is really just because of legitimate IPv6 users hitting ipv6.google.com.
Hey, do you still have the SXSW 2008 music? I can’t find it anywhere else. It would be really helpful if you could give that to me.

P.S. The audio.swsx.com links 404. I contacted them, and they said it was in fact intentional.
Yeah, you can find a good archive of all the SXXW torrents here: http://hewgill.com/sxsw/
Sorry, but all of the torrents linked to on that page 404. I found some likely ones on the pirate bay, but those are dead.

Did you try it just now? The author said that the older (non-2010) torrents were broken. Here’s a link for 2008 that’s working for me: http://sites.google.com/site/sxswtorrent/SXSW_2008_Showcasing_Artists-Release_1.torrent?attredirects=0 If I click on that, I get a .torrent file that I can then load into my bittorrent program and download. It takes a while to get going since this is an old(er) one.
Thanks so much! Finally, a torrent with a seed!
(Goes to upload to TPB)
