IPv6 Subnet-Router Anycast (SRA) Dataset

This website provides the IPv6 SRA dataset, a collection of IPv6 router addresses discovered using Subnet-Router Anycast (SRA) probing. In addition to a weekly updated dataset, we offer a dashboard that compares our dataset with other well-known IPv6 address datasets such as the TUM Hitlist. We also provide information about routing loops on the IPv6 Internet to help avoid collateral damage during scanning.
