Today, we can say that IPv6 is already happening all around the world. It’s interesting to see the main reasons that made it happen, how it’s happening, and to make the audience think about their deployment status and strategy. Statistics from different sources are showed, including data from RIPE NCC measurements.

IPv4 is simply not enough !

6. – Address delegations
• Have the networks got addresses?
– Routing
• Are they using the addresses for connectivity?
– Content readiness on IPv6
• Are the web content available on IPv6?
– User capability
• Do end users have IPv6 capable devices?

30. Case Study: T-Mobile USA
• Late 2009
– T-Mobile USA re-examined their future IP addressing strategy
• Growth in “always-on” smart devices
• Emergence of 4G LTE
• IPv4 does not fit the business need
• IPv6 deployment in mobile networks is ready
– 9 months: Feasibility study and impact assessment on IPv6 deployment
• In 2010: Started IPv6 friendly user trial
• Oct 2013
– Deployed IPv6-Only hand devices + an IPv6 transition technology
(464XLAT) to make everything work with IPv6-Only
• Introduction feature to handsets is a slow and careful process

32. Observation
• IPv6 deployment is increasing steadily
– But varies among regions, economies
– Some economies and ASNs have been very active in terms of IPv6
deployment
• Particularly some mobile network operators and cable TV operators
• Once they enable IPv6 in their network and handsets, their end user
readiness grows VERY rapidly
• Where are you now in terms of IPv6 deployment?
