Presentation by Carlos Martinez Cagnazzo given at ION Santiago in Chile on 28 October 2014. 6 June 2014 marked the 2nd anniversary of World IPv6 Launch, when thousands of Internet Service Providers, home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world came together to permanently enable IPv6 on their products and services. Where are we now on the path to full global IPv6 adoption? We’ll provide a global update and then focus on the current state of IPv6 adoption in South America, including a brief tour of the resources available from the Internet Society to help networks of all sizes get IPv6 up and running for good. We will also explore how those who have already deployed IPv6 can help the larger community by adding even more content to the repository.

?
What
is
it
?
• LACNIC
is
the
network
address
registry
for
La*n
America
and
the
Caribbean
• We
assign
IPv6
(and
s*ll
some
IPv4
J
)
to
organiza*ons
within
our
service
area

7. IPv6
from
the
End-­‐User
Point
of
View
• You
hear
a
lot
that
“there
is
just
2%,
3%
or
perhaps
5%
of
IPv6
traffic
on
the
Internet”
– Whether
this
is
a
lot
or
not
is
debatable
• But,
if
you
are
a
network
operator,
the
actual
ques*on
you
should
ask
yourself
is
“how
much
IPv6
traffic
will
MY
network
have
if
I
enable
IPv6
for
my
users?”

• Office
network
– mostly
email,
web
searching,
reading
and,
yes,
Facebook
– But
mostly
no
cat
videos
– 47

traffic
is
currently
IPv6
• LACNIC
Conference
Networks
– …
whatever
you
guys
are
doing
here
…
– 23%
(Port-­‐Au-­‐Prince,
2012),
36%
(Montevideo,
2012),
34%
(Medellin,
2013),
XX%?

9. IPv6
from
the
End-­‐User
Point
of
View
• Why
is
this
happening
?
– The
largest
content
providers
are
IPv6-­‐enabled,
thanks
to
World
IPv6
Launch
Day
– Web
browsers
have
become
very
good
at
handling
dual-­‐stack
scenarios
• Failover
between
stacks
quickly
• Giving
IPv6
some
headstart

10. IPv6
from
the
End-­‐User
Point
of
View
• Why
is
this
important
?
– ISPs
will
have
to
spend
money
in
handling
IPv4
exhaus*on
• If
they
want
to
grow
their
user
base,
that
is
– Public
IPv4
address
sharing
(CGN)
is
expensive
and
has
many,
many
problems
– If
ISPs
enable
IPv6
for
their
users,
they
may
have
up
to
40%
less
traffic
in
your
CGN
*today*
• This
is
money
ISPs
are
saving!

11. Thanks!
