IPv6 Routing Loops Update

Routing loops and the amplification of looping packets are known problems on the IPv6 Internet.
In a recent measurement study, we found that both problems are still present, potentially harming Internet stability.
Loops are easy to fix, but they seem to lack attention from the network operator community.
In this talk, we aim to raise awareness about routing loops and amplification of looping packets.
We provide an update on the current state of these issues on the IPv6 Internet, with a focus on the RIPE region.
Hopefully, these misconfigurations will be solved in the future.
To assist in resolving these problems, we have made our findings publicly available at https://ipv6-sra.realmv6.org/routingloops, allowing operators to check whether their networks are affected by routing loops.
