20. • IPv4 is out, IPv6 is in
• When managing devices, Comcast
does more with IPv6 than IPv4
already, approaching 100% across
our entire footprint
• 60-70% of our customers are native
dual stack enabled today
Key Messages from
• IPv6 is foundational for us – for
innovation and as platform for all of
our products and services
• IPv6 will fuel advancements like
IPV6 segment routing, service
chaining, NFV, and SDN while IPv4
moves to a service on top of IPv6
