paper: https://bit.ly/2toOGWP
slides: https://bit.ly/2ZoEpap
video: https://vimeo.com/437111302
Some highlights
Caches reachable within 6 IP hops and 20 ms
-IP path lengths shorter by 40–50%
-Latency lower by 64%
-Throughput higher by factor of three
-Latency benefits more pronounced over IPv4 compared with IPv6
Latency and IP path lengths similar between both address families
⇒ High IPv6 preference, however, slight drops during peak hours
