1) The document summarizes recent progress on IPv6 deployment in Thailand, plans for further expansion, and conclusions. Key points include Thailand allocating around 80 IPv6 prefixes but only 1/3 being active, monitoring showing some agencies making good progress toward IPv6 readiness while others need work, and plans to issue more address blocks and launch a second national IPv6 plan by early 2016. 2) Further events are planned like turning off IPv4 or IPv6 for a day on the University network to test drivers and encourage adoption. Overall IPv6 deployment appears more stable but still has room for growth. 3) In conclusion, fully implementing IPv6 is important to restore the original design of the Internet and allow more innovation,

Royal Thai Government approved
the National IPv6 Thailand Master Plan
for 2014-2016 (3-year plan)

1. IPv6 Infrastructure 15
2. Human Development 7
3. Services and Supports 5

9. IPv6 Monitoring
•Recently, Thailand has around 80 IPv6 prefixes
allocated, however, around 1/3 are alive,
•We keep IPv6 measuring results from several
monitoring sites, for example, Google, IPv6 Cisco Lab,
APNIC, RIPE, IPv6-Test.
•We have our own IPv6 monitoring system.

We cannot manage what we cannot measure

18. Some good progress…
•Good progress in Ministry of Finance, e.g.
• The Revenue Department,
• The Customs Department,
• The Excise Department,
• Export-Import Bank of Thailand.
•Ministry of ICT.
•Ministry of Science and Technology.

19. What is next?
•We are working for more IPv6 address
blocks for the whole e-Gov,
•By early of 2016, we will launch a second
plan for IPv6.
•Pushing DNSSEC.

20. IPv6 Test drivers/Events
•UniNet IPv6 Day, Dec 6, 2015
•Will turn off IPv4 for half day
•UniNet IPv6 Day. June 6, 2016
•Will turn off IPv6 for whole day
•We will propose a similar event to e-Gov
network.

21. Seem to be
(more) in stable
operation
• Ping from US to some
Thai Universities,
• It seems to be in stable
condition.

22. IPv6 (good) experiences
• Some users experienced that IPv6 is
faster than IPv4 (not all the time)

24. Conclusion
• Restoring the Internet to “real end-to-end
model” will allows more innovative at the edge,
• IPv6, our second generate Internet, is taking off
to restore “real end-to-end” communications,
• Thailand commits to go on IPv6!
