World IPv6 Trends George Michaelson APNIC ggm@apnic.net
Stats on IPv6 deployment worldwide
The world is on around 18% IPv6 Capability Capability as in can use IPv6 not necessarily preferring it. Measured as % of sampled users who can fetch an IPv6 addressed web asset embedded in a web advertisement. 15million or more samples per day, worldwide Figures adjusted for relative internet population We over-sample the US, under-sample India Other measures place it slightly higher at 20% or better Consider APNIC a low side count and them as high side count Its pretty well bracketed. It s a high confidence figure. Lets rank the economies by IPv6 capability above and below 18%

Take-away messages There is no strong indication that specific sector-economy drivers are making IPv6 happen We have strong, developed G8/G20 economies with little or no IPv6 We have emerging Internet Economies with significant IPv6 There are signs suggesting a two-track internet is an emerging risk Lack of investment (capex or opex) to upgrade to dualstack or IPv6 IPv6 is interesting because of the future potential to innovate Don t get caught behind incumbent thinking!

Lets look at the top 10 in more detail
Whats going on inside these economies? Look at the per-as statistics on when their top ASN (by measured share of experiments) enabled IPv6. Focusses on the most impactful ASN, and their deployment stories What can this say about competitive tension in services? Can we see signs of active competition in IPv6? Do we see signs of market dominance?

Observations/Conclusions Economically diverse economies are deploying IPv6 There are signs it encourages competition in the ISP sector There are signs that some economies have very entrenched, dominant ISPs IPv6 is a significant element of global Internet deployment Its too big to ignore Its fate is not certain, but the trends are very encouraging It looks like good capital investment to deploy Where is your economy in this story?
