IPv6 deployment

January 01, 1970

The deployment of IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), has been in progress since the mid-2000s. IPv6 was designed as the successor protocol for IPv4 with an expanded addressing space. IPv4, which has been in use since 1982, is in the final stages of exhausting its unallocated address space, but still carries most Internet traffic.[1]

By 2011, all major operating systems in use on personal computers and server systems had production-quality IPv6 implementations. Mobile telephone networks present a large deployment field for Internet-connected devices in which voice is provisioned as a voice over IP (VoIP) service. In 2009, the US cellular operator Verizon released technical specifications for devices to operate on its 4G networks.[2] The specification mandates IPv6 operation according to the 3GPP Release 8 Specifications (March 2009), and deprecates IPv4 as an optional capability.[2]

As of February 2024 Google's statistics show IPv6 availability of its global user base at around 39–45% depending on the day of the week (greater on weekends).[3] Adoption is uneven across countries and Internet service providers. Countries including France, Germany and India now run the majority of their traffic to Google over IPv6, with other countries including the United States, Brazil and Japan approaching 50%. However, Russia and China have less than 10% adoption, with some countries such as Sudan and Turkmenistan having less than 1% IPv6 adoption.[4]

Rapid deployment tools edit

Tools such as 6rd, conceived by Rémi Després, have been developed to enable IPv6 rapid deployment.

Statistics and monitoring edit

Google publishes statistics on IPv6 adoption among Google users. A graph of IPv6 adoption since 2008 and a map of IPv6 deployment by country are available.[5][6]

Akamai publishes by-country and by-network statistics on IPv6 adoption for traffic it sees on its global Content Distribution Network (CDN). This set of data also shows graphs for each country and network over time.[7]

A global view into the history of the growing IPv6 routing tables can be obtained with the SixXS Ghost Route Hunter.[8] This tool provided a list of all allocated IPv6 prefixes until 2014 and marks with colors the ones that were actually being announced into the Internet BGP tables. When a prefix was announced, it means that the ISP at least can receive IPv6 packets for their prefix.

The integration of IPv6 on existing network infrastructure may be monitored from other sources, for example:

Testing, evaluation, and certification edit

A few organizations are involved with international IPv6 test and evaluation, ranging from the United States Department of Defense to the University of New Hampshire.

Major milestones edit

Year Major development and availability milestones
1996 IPv6 support in the Linux kernel was originally developed by Pedro Roque and integrated into mainline at the end of 1996, which was one of the earliest implementations of an IPv6 stack in the world.[13]
6bone (an IPv6 virtual network for testing) is started.

Operating system support edit

See also: Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems

By 2011, all major operating systems in use on personal computers and server systems had production-quality IPv6 implementations.[42] Microsoft Windows has supported IPv6 since Windows 2000,[43] and in production-ready state beginning with Windows XP. Windows Vista and later have improved IPv6 support.[44] macOS since Panther (10.3), Linux 2.6, FreeBSD, and Solaris also have mature production implementations. Some implementations of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file transfer protocol make use of IPv6 to avoid NAT issues common for IPv4 private networks.[45]

Government encouragement edit

In the early 2000s, governments increasingly required support for IPv6 in new equipment. The US government, for example, specified in 2005 that the network backbones of all federal agencies had to be upgraded to IPv6 by June 30, 2008; this was completed before the deadline.[46][47][48][49] In addition, the US government in 2010 required federal agencies to provide native dual-stacked IPv4/IPv6 access to external/public services by 2012, and internal clients were to utilize IPv6 by 2014.[50] On November 19, 2020, the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the latest US federal government IPv6-only policy in its memorandum (M-21-07) directing all federal government agencies to complete at least 80% of the transition from IPv4 to the single stack of IPv6 by 2025.[51] Progress on the US government's external facing IPv6 services is tracked by NIST. The government of the People's Republic of China implemented a five-year plan for deployment of IPv6 called the China Next Generation Internet (see below).

Coexistence with IPv4 edit

On 7 March 2013, the Internet Engineering Task Force created a working group for IPv4 sunset in preparation for protocol changes that could be used to support sunset/shutdown of remanent IPv4 networks.[52][53] However, in May 2018 this working group was closed as no immediate work could be identified due to the slow transition to IPv6.[54]

The Internet Engineering Task Force expects IPv6 to coexist with IPv4 as it is considered impractical to transition to IPv6 in the short term.[55][56] The coexistence is expected to be based on dual-stack, tunneling or translation mechanisms.[57] Dual-stack implementations required two parallel logical networks, increasing cost and complexity of the network.[58] IPv4 networks are expected to slowly transition into segmented subnetworks using IPv4 Residual Deployment.[59]

The slow transition to IPv6 has caused significant resentment in the Internet community.[60][61]

As a result, many larger enterprises, such as Microsoft, are transitioning to phasing out IPv4 and moving towards IPv6 Single-Stack within the company. In a recent blog, the company describes their heavily translated IPv4 network as "potentially fragile", "operationally challenging", and with regard to dual-stack operations (i.e. those running IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously) "complex".[62]

China edit

The China Next Generation Internet (CNGI, 中国下一代互联网) project is an ongoing plan initiated by the Chinese government with the purpose of gaining a significant position in the development of the Internet through the early adoption of IPv6. China showcased CNGI's IPv6 infrastructure during the 2008 Summer Olympics, being the first time a major world event has had a presence on the IPv6 Internet.[99] At the time of the event, it was believed that the Olympics provided the largest showcase of IPv6 technology since the inception of IPv6.[100] The deployment of IPv6 was widespread in all related applications, from data networking and camera transmissions for sporting events, to civil applications, such as security cameras and taxis. The events were streamed live over the Internet and networked cars were able to monitor traffic conditions readily, all network operations of the Games being conducted using IPv6.[101]

Also, the CERNET (China Education and Research NETwork, 中国教育和科研计算机网, 教育网) set up native IPv6 (CERNET2), and since then many academic institutions in China joined CERNET2 for IPv6 connectivity. CERNET-2 is probably the widest deployment of IPv6 in China. It is managed and operated jointly by 25 universities.[102] Students in Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, for example, get native IPv6.[103][104]

In 2017, China issued an "Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Deployment of Internet Protocol Version 6" where it encouraged a nationwide adoption of the IPv6 network. Outlined in the plan, China had set goals to develop a next-generation internet technical system and industrial ecosystem with independent intellectual property rights in 5 to 10 years, and aimed at having the largest IPv6 network in the world by the end of 2025.[105]

In 2018, US researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology categorized China as being part of a group of 169 countries that had little IPv6 traffic. As of 2021, Akamai's latest State of the Internet Report asserts an IPv6 adoption level of 23.5% among Chinese internet connections.[106]

In July 2021, China announced plans to complete a national IPv6 rollout by 2030. It is the only country known to advocate towards a single-stack network and had earlier in May 2021, overtaken India in becoming the Number 1 country in terms of having the most IPv6 addresses in the world, with 528 million.[107]

The deployment of IPv6 the latest version of the Internet Protocol IP has been in progress since the mid 2000s IPv6 was designed as the successor protocol for IPv4 with an expanded addressing space IPv4 which has been in use since 1982 is in the final stages of exhausting its unallocated address space but still carries most Internet traffic 1 By 2011 all major operating systems in use on personal computers and server systems had production quality IPv6 implementations Mobile telephone networks present a large deployment field for Internet connected devices in which voice is provisioned as a voice over IP VoIP service In 2009 the US cellular operator Verizon released technical specifications for devices to operate on its 4G networks 2 The specification mandates IPv6 operation according to the 3GPP Release 8 Specifications March 2009 and deprecates IPv4 as an optional capability 2 As of February 2024 update Google s statistics show IPv6 availability of its global user base at around 39 45 depending on the day of the week greater on weekends 3 Adoption is uneven across countries and Internet service providers Countries including France Germany and India now run the majority of their traffic to Google over IPv6 with other countries including the United States Brazil and Japan approaching 50 However Russia and China have less than 10 adoption with some countries such as Sudan and Turkmenistan having less than 1 IPv6 adoption 4 Contents 1 Deployment tools and evaluation 1 1 Rapid deployment tools 1 2 Statistics and monitoring 1 3 Testing evaluation and certification 2 Major milestones 3 Operating system support 4 Government encouragement 5 Coexistence with IPv4 6 Deployment by country and region 6 1 Algeria 6 2 Australia 6 3 Bangladesh 6 4

References 10 External linksDeployment tools and evaluation edit nbsp Number of IPv6 prefixes and AS on the Internet since 2003 nbsp Monthly IPv6 allocations per RIR Rapid deployment tools edit Tools such as 6rd conceived by Remi Despres have been developed to enable IPv6 rapid deployment Statistics and monitoring edit Google publishes statistics on IPv6 adoption among Google users A graph of IPv6 adoption since 2008 and a map of IPv6 deployment by country are available 5 6 Akamai publishes by country and by network statistics on IPv6 adoption for traffic it sees on its global Content Distribution Network CDN This set of data also shows graphs for each country and network over time 7 A global view into the history of the growing IPv6 routing tables can be obtained with the SixXS Ghost Route Hunter 8 This tool provided a list of all allocated IPv6 prefixes until 2014 and marks with colors the ones that were actually being announced into the Internet BGP tables When a prefix was announced it means that the ISP at least can receive IPv6 packets for their prefix The integration of IPv6 on existing network infrastructure may be monitored from other sources for example Regional Internet registries RIR IPv6 prefix allocation 9 IPv6 transit services 10 Japan ISP IPv6 services 11 Testing evaluation and certification edit A few organizations are involved with international IPv6 test and evaluation ranging from the United States Department of Defense to the University of New Hampshire The US DoD Joint Interoperability Test Command DoD IPv6 Product Certification Program University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory involvement in the IPv6 Ready Logo Program 12 SATSIXMajor milestones editYear Major development and availability milestones 1996 IPv6 support in the Linux kernel was originally developed by Pedro Roque and integrated into mainline at the end of 1996 which was one of the earliest implementations of an IPv6 stack in the world 13 6bone an IPv6 virtual network for testing is started 1997 By the end of 1997 IBM s AIX 4 3 is the first commercial platform supporting IPv6 14 15 Also in 1997 Early Adopter Kits for DEC s operating systems Tru64 and OpenVMS are made available 16 1998 Microsoft Research 17 releases its first experimental IPv6 stack This support is not intended for use in a production environment 1999 In February the IPv6 Forum 18 is founded by the IETF Deployment WG to drive deployment worldwide This results in the creation of regional and local IPv6 Task Forces 1999 Implementation of the

XP 2001 supports IPv6 for developmental purposes In Windows XP SP1 2002 and Windows Server 2003 IPv6 is included as a core networking technology suitable for commercial deployment 24 IBM z OS supports IPv6 since version 1 4 general availability in September 2002 25 2003 Apple Mac OS X v10 3 Panther 2003 supports IPv6 which is enabled by default 26 2004 In July ICANN announces that IPv6 address records for the Japan jp and Korea kr country code top level domain nameservers are visible in the DNS root server zone files with serial number 2004072000 The IPv6 records for France fr are added later This makes IPv6 DNS publicly operational 2005 Linux 2 6 12 removes experimental status from its IPv6 implementation 27 2007 Microsoft Windows Vista 2007 supports IPv6 which is enabled by default 24 Apple s AirPort Extreme 802 11n base station includes an IPv6 gateway in its default configuration It uses 6to4 tunneling and manually configured static tunnels 28 Note 6to4 was disabled by default in later firmware revisions On March 8 2007 IPv6 Forum Stealth Communications and CounterPath Solutions announced worldwide VoIP interoperability using IPv6 and Asterisk PBX 29 30 31 2008 On February 4 2008 IANA adds AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of six root name servers 32 33 With this transition it is now possible to resolve domain names using only IPv6 On March 12 2008 the IETF does an hour long IPv4 blackout at its meeting as an opportunity to capture informal experience data to inform protocol design work going forward 34 this led to many fixes in operating systems and applications On May 27 2008 the European Commission publish their Action Plan for the deployment of Internet Protocol version 6 IPv6 in Europe 35 with the aim of making IPv6 available to 25 of European users by 2010 36 2011 On June 8 2011 the Internet Society in conjunction with several large companies and organizations held World IPv6 Day a global 24 hour test of IPv6 37 38 2012 On June 6

becomes the first dedicated video game console from a major company to support IPv6 41 Operating system support editSee also Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems By 2011 all major operating systems in use on personal computers and server systems had production quality IPv6 implementations 42 Microsoft Windows has supported IPv6 since Windows 2000 43 and in production ready state beginning with Windows XP Windows Vista and later have improved IPv6 support 44 macOS since Panther 10 3 Linux 2 6 FreeBSD and Solaris also have mature production implementations Some implementations of the BitTorrent peer to peer file transfer protocol make use of IPv6 to avoid NAT issues common for IPv4 private networks 45 Government encouragement editIn the early 2000s governments increasingly required support for IPv6 in new equipment The US government for example specified in 2005 that the network backbones of all federal agencies had to be upgraded to IPv6 by June 30 2008 this was completed before the deadline 46 47 48 49 In addition the US government in 2010 required federal agencies to provide native dual stacked IPv4 IPv6 access to external public services by 2012 and internal clients were to utilize IPv6 by 2014 50 On November 19 2020 the United States Office of Management and Budget OMB issued the latest US federal government IPv6 only policy in its memorandum M 21 07 directing all federal government agencies to complete at least 80 of the transition from IPv4 to the single stack of IPv6 by 2025 51 Progress on the US government s external facing IPv6 services is tracked by NIST The government of the People s Republic of China implemented a five year plan for deployment of IPv6 called the China Next Generation Internet see below Coexistence with IPv4 editOn 7 March 2013 the Internet Engineering Task Force created a working group for IPv4 sunset in preparation for protocol changes that could be used to support sunset shutdown of remanent IPv4 networks 52 53 However in May 2018 this working group was closed as no immediate work could be identified due to the slow transition to IPv6 54 The Internet Engineering Task Force expects IPv6 to coexist with IPv4 as it is considered impractical to transition to IPv6 in the short term 55 56 The coexistence is expected to be based on dual stack tunneling or translation mechanisms 57 Dual stack implementations required two parallel logical networks increasing cost and complexity of the network 58 IPv4 networks are expected to slowly transition into segmented subnetworks using IPv4 Residual Deployment 59 The slow transition to IPv6 has caused significant resentment in the Internet community 60 61 As a result many larger enterprises such as Microsoft are transitioning to phasing out IPv4 and moving towards IPv6 Single Stack within the company In a recent blog the company describes their heavily translated IPv4 network as potentially fragile operationally challenging and with regard to dual stack operations i e those running IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously complex 62 Deployment by country and region editAlgeria edit AnwarNet www anwarnet dz AfriNIC has allocated range of IPv6 address space to AnwarNet AnwarNet started IPV6 services in 2011 Australia edit AARNet completed network AARNet 3 a high speed network connecting academic and research customers in the major metropolitan centres with international links to major ISPs in the US Asia and Europe One of the design goals was to support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols equally It also supports multicast routing and jumbo frames 63 IPv6 Now Pty Ltd 64 introduced the first 65 commercial grade IPv6 tunnel broker service in Australia on April 30 2008 Also in June 2008 IPv6Now introduced the first dual stacked IPv4 amp IPv6 web hosting service 66 Internode is the first commercial ISP in Australia to have full IPv6 connectivity and make IPv6 available to customers 67 The availability to customers was officially announced to Whirlpool on July 18 2008 68 The Victorian State government granted A 350 000 to establish an IPv6 testbed network VIC6 69 freely available to industry to evaluate their IPv6 products and strategies 70 Telstra announced on 5 September 2011 that their backbone network was fully double stacked and that they had commenced providing its enterprise government and wholesale customers with IPv6 connectivity and helping customers through the transition 71 they would activate IPv6 addressing for its mobile network on 12 September 2016 72 Telstra announced by email on 6 February 2020 that their mobile network is now purely IPv6 Aussie Broadband started enabling IPv6 for all new residential NBN customers services on 1 November 2021 73 Bangladesh edit Infolink successfully tested and started commercial IPv6 beta deployment to end user for the first time in Bangladesh on May 22 2017 74 SpeedLinks successfully tested and started commercial IPv6 deployment to end user for the first time in Rangpur Division Bangladesh on January 25 2022 Belgium edit On July 13 2010 Logica Netherlands operating within the SPITS project in cooperation with Mobistar Belgium successfully tested native IPv6 over UMTS GPRS in Belgium and the Netherlands within a vehicle platform as an Intelligent transportation system solution The test was performed both in gsm and in tethering mode using a Nokia smart phone 75 Since September 2013 research and government ISP Belnet offers native IPV6 to all customers 76 VOO 77 A large residential ISP cable started its transition in April 2013 leading to impressive growth 78 in IPv6 in Belgium Telenet started its transition in February 2014 helping to push the Belgian average of IPv6 usage to almost 30 79 by September 2014 and putting them in the top 10 of worldwide ISPs 80 of which customers are visiting websites with IPv6 In 2023 the 3rd major residential provider in Flanders Orange does not provide IPv6 but customers are allocated inoperable IPv6 addresses 81 According to APNIC IPv6 penetration is 52 as of January 2019 penetration briefly peaked around 70 in August 2017 82 Brazil edit As of April 2021 Brazil has 38 4 IPv6 adoption 6 IPv6 adoption in the country was boosted in 2015 when the Brazilian telecommunications agency Anatel announced that all Internet operators and service providers would be required to provide IPv6 addresses to consumers This was one of a number of initiatives to increase the speed of deployment 83 Bulgaria edit Has constructed a research center to study the possibilities of adopting IPv6 in the country The center will operate alongside another facility which is equipped with an IBM Blue Gene P supercomputer 84 Since 2015 the ISP Blizoo enabled IPv6 for many home customers At the end of 2016 the ISP ComNet Bulgaria Holding Ltd has provided complete IPv6 support for all customers and households within company network in Bulgaria 85 Canada edit IPv6 deployment is slow but ongoing with major Canadian ISPs notably Bell Canada lacking in support for its residential customers and the majority of their business customers including server packages According to Google s statistics Canada reached an IPv6 adoption level of 39 66 as of May 2022 3 Rogers Communications has deployed native IPv6 network wide including their DOCSIS 3 0 3 1 wireline broadband network and their HSPA LTE mobile network Rogers Business Cable customers using a Static IPv4 address cannot receive IPv6 over the same service In 2018 it appeared that all Wireless LTE devices in the network had only IPv6 addresses
