The document discusses Cisco's measurements and analysis of IPv6 deployment statistics, providing insights into global and country-level adoption metrics. It includes insights on measuring IPv6 readiness, prefixes, transit, and web content, along with statistics from various sources like Google and APNIC Lab. Additionally, it highlights specific country-level adoption successes, such as significant increases in IPv6 usage in Malaysia, Greece, Belgium, and Peru during 2014.

• This web site presents metric of IPv6 adoption in country and global level.
• We used public existing data:Whois DB of RIR,APNC
Lab,Routeview,Alexa,Google,ITU and so on.
• The overall map presents two IPv6 metric:deployment ratio and the relative
deployment index.
• Color indicates relative deployment index of each of countries.
• Overall IPv6 ratio depends on IPv6 Transit AS/contents/user

• When an entity plans to enable IPv6 on its network, the first step is to ask the
RIR for an IPv6 prefix.
• The second step is to make this prefix reachable on the network, which
means make an entry in BGP tables for this prefix: the prefix is then routable.
• If we've seen traffic from one of APNIC labs, Eric Vyncke then we assume
that the prefix is alive.
• Color : Ratio of allocated v6 prefixes that are routable to all allocated v6 prefixes
• Indication : Ratio of allocated v6 prefixes to allocated v4 prefixes
• Ratio of allocated IPv6 prefixes from which traffic has been seen to all allocated v6

• To measure the level of IPv6 readiness of the core of the internet,
one good way is to analyze the BGP routing table and measure the
IPv6 enablement of Transit ASs.
• Color : Weighted ratio of AS that are Transit V6 to AS that are transit V4
(IPv6 Transit AS).
• Indication : Weighted ratio of transit AS V4 that are V6 enabled to transit
AS V4 (IPv6 enabled Transit AS).
• IPv6 Transit AS:an AS that is Transit on both IPv6 and IPv4.
• IPv6 enabled Transit AS:an AS that is transit on IPv4 network and
has an IPv6 prefix

• Alexa ranks websites by pageviews and unique users per country.
• AAAA request is made to DNS servers for the exact domain name
and also possible test names such as www6.mydomain.mytld or
ipv6.mydomain.mytld.
• Color : Weighted ratio of IPv6 enabled websites
• Indication : Weighted ratio of IPv6:
• in test : test domain name working in IPv6
• failing : AAAA record exists but webpage not working in IPv6
• other : not IPv6 enabled websites

• Google and APNIC lab measuring end-user IPv6 adoption.
• Results can differ slightly between Google and APNIC, as the sample is
different.
• But the countries where Google is not #1 Alexla rank, and big access to
APNIC the numbers are very consistent.(China and Japan)
