The document summarizes an IPv6 readiness measurement BoF meeting. It includes presentations on IPv6 measurement from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, RIPE, and Cisco. Good progress was reported in some countries, while more work is still needed in cellular services and content availability. Common measurement criteria like allocation, routing, and availability were discussed. Future work includes inviting more ccTLD registries and measuring additional criteria like access router and home gateway availability.

The 1st BoF at APNIC 36 and workshop in 2013
• Discussed Measuremet criteria
• Made consensus for three common
measurement criteria
• Created a Mailing list and Website
The 2nd BoF at APNIC 37, workshop and
The 3rd BoF at APNIC 38 in 2014
• Data acquisition about common criteria
• Developed the tool for the IPv6 server
detection function
• Discussed the service availability and
analyzed the outcome of the criteria

4. Current Japan Status presented by
Tomohiro Fujisaki (NTT)
• Many fixed-line ISPs have started their
commercial IPv6 service for both enterprise and
consumer users.
• IPv6 ready Government’s services are increasing.
• Large contents providers do not support IPv6 yet.
• In Japan, IPv6 Internet connectivity has
deployed smoothly, but need to tackle to
improve Content services and Cellular services.

5. Current Thailand Status presented by
Prof. Sinchai Kamolphiwong (Prince of
Songkla University)
• Introduced the National IPv6 Thailand Master
Plan for 2014-2016 (3-year plan) including IPv6
Infrastructure, Human Development, Services
and Supports, and Public Awareness
• Thailand developed its own monitoring system
based upon a five-color labeling.
• Good progress in Ministry of Finance, Ministry of
ICT and Ministry of Science and Technology.
• Some users experienced that IPv6 is faster than
IPv4 .

6. Current Vietnam Status presented by
Nguyen Tien Dzung (VNNIC)
• Introduced the three-phased National IPv6
Master Plan, and the Key activities in 2014.
• Showed Survey results of their ISPs using 3
dimensions with 16 criteria
• 43 local ISP and CP participated (3 ISPs with
full 16 criteria ready: VNPT, VIETTEL, NETNAM;
6 others with 10/16 criteria ready; The
remaining with very low ready percentage)
6

7. Current Taiwan Status presented by
Ai-Chin Lu (TWNIC)
• Updated the status of 3 common
measurement criteria: IPv6 allocation and BGP
advertisement , User Availability, Service
Availability.
• Introduced new Measurement Criteria:
Access router/gateway availiability, Home
Gateway availiability.
• Showed Survey results of ISP Internet access
service device IPv6 availiability.
• By analyzing the home gateway devices from
15 major vendors, over 50% vendors provide
IPv6-available home gateway devices.

9. RIPE IPv6 measurement, Vesna
Manojlovic (RIPENCC)
• Introduced IPv6 RIPEness and RIPE Atlas
IPv6 Measurements
• RIPE Atlas can be used for:
– IPv6 reachability testing
– IPv6 traceroute visualisation
– Investigating IPv6 filtering based on packet
size
– Researching IPv6 extension headers
filtering

10. CISCO IPv6 measurement, Shishio
Tsuchiya (CISCO)
10
• CISCO used public existing data: Whois DB of
RIR,APNIC Lab, Alexa, Google, etc.
• Color indicates relative deployment index.
• Overall IPv6 ratio depends on IPv6 Transit
AS/contents/user

11. Different methods to compute Service
Availability
• 1. Data acquisition from the public
existing data sources
– Data acquizition from Alexa’s top 500 websites
for each country
– Data acquizition from Alexa’s top 1 million
websites
• 2. Data Collection from ccTLD DBs (NZ, SG,
TW, VN, CN)

12. Report of the IPv6 Readiness

17. Conclusion
17
• In addition to measurement results from the
public existing data sources, the results from
ccTLD DBs are also presented.
• More than 30 organizations have given
presentation in previous meetings. We will
invite more ccTLD registries to participate in
the future BoF meetings.
• IPv6 Access Router/Gateway Availability and
IPv6 Home Gateway availability have been
proposed.
• Different methodologies and criteria of
readiness measurement are very welcome.
