9. IPv6 Access router/gateway availability
• Motivation
-we suppose the ISP access service devices are ready for the
IPv6 , then the utilization of IPv6 will be happen at any moment.
• Conduct a survey by questionnaire
• Check whether ISP internet access service device is
ipv6 capable.
• Survey date: Jan 2015;
• Sample: TWNIC 61 IP registrars;
• Response rates: 98%

10. Survey results

•Among 60 ISPs , 48 ISPs provide wired/wireless internet
access services .
•Within 48 ISPs, 44% and 29% ISPs provide FTTx and Cable
access service respectively , which are the top 2.

11. Survey results
•Cable , FTTx, ADSL, WiFi, 3G/3.5G, 4G are the 6 major access services
• Each access service is correspond to different access devices .

13. Motivation
– Hinet is the largest ISP in Taiwan, and already provides FTTx
access service with IPv6.
– we suppose if 3.2 million Hinet’s FTTx users’ home
gateways are all IPv6 capable, then the user availability will
largely increase.
• conduct survey by reviewing home gateway spec.
from 15 major vendors/manufacturers , which are
over 50% market share.
IPv6 Home Gateway availability

14. IPv6 Home gateway availability
14
8 vendors (53.3%) Home gateway support IPv6
7 vendors(46.7%) Home
gateway not support IPv6
5 vendors(33.3%) have IPv6-
capable home gateways with
the IPv6 PPPoE function
1.ASUS
2.D-Link
3.DrayTek
4.SAPIDO
5.TP-LINK
1.Buffalo
2.Cerio
3.EDIMAX
4.HUAWEI
5.Netis
6.Tenda
7.TOTO LINK
3 vendors(20%) have IPv6-
capable home gateways
without the IPv6 PPPoE
function
1.LevelOne
2.NETGEAR
3.ZyXEL

15. Conclusion
15
• Regarding ipv6 promotion ,nowadays, to provide
ipv6 internet access service is the most concern .
• For providing internet access service ,ipv6 capable
access router/gateway is a must .
• Home gateway is one of the critical devices for
home users to access ipv6 network.
• How to get more accurate ipv6 capable access
device data? We consider to cooperate with
isp/vendor/manufacturer to build a mechanism of
data collection.
