Public Administration in Europe

2. Based on the IPv6 connectivity
(Google user´s)
How to measure IPv6 adoption?
IPv6 readiness of web-servers,
DNS and mail servers
(Alexa, GEN6)

3. Google stats
France; 5,44 %
Romania; 8,62 %
Germany; 2,56 %
Czech Republic; 1,48 %
Luxembourg; 4,89 %
Belgium; 1,72 %
Norway; 1,08 %

4. IPv6 Observatory

5. Digital Agenda for Europe, Action 89: eGovernment services
supporting IPv6
Based on the pilot project in the Czech Republic, IPv6 readiness
benchmarking is expanding by GEN6 to other countries.
In order to compare the comparable, the methodology for collecting
URLs was set-up.
Benchmarking involves only government institutions at all levels:
National: ministries, legislative bodies, judicial authorities…
Regional: representatives of regions (only in some countries)
Local: largest cities in each country
Data available for: Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey.

Legislation has a power to support IPv6 deployment – institutions
affected by government resolution have about 3x higher IPv6 support
by web-servers, than the national average.
Involvement of IPv6 criterion in various „the best website“
competitions has a similar effect with minimum effort!

12. Although, they are no free IPv4 address
blocks in Europe, IPv6 deployment is still
very low, both within the public
administration and business !
Conclusion
