This document discusses the state of IPv6 adoption two years after its global launch. While some regions and economies have been more active in deploying IPv6, global adoption is uneven. Measurement data shows adoption is highest in Asia and parts of Europe, while the UK ranks 40th globally in IPv6 preference. The document examines IPv6 deployment by autonomous system numbers and RIPEness in various countries and regions, finding many internet service providers have implemented it but end-user adoption still lags in some places due to lack of business drivers and need for further training.

8. Globally Speaking ION Belfast |
• IPv6 did not happen everywhere
• Some economies have been very active in terms
of IPv6 deployment
• Lets look at this on a country-by-country basis…

19. Lessons Learned ION Belfast |
• Large network operators are rolling out IPv6, and
make significant differences
• A lot of organisations still don’t see the business
case
• You can use external services to enable IPv6
!
• Training is still very much needed (!)
