Internet Society Briefing Panel at IETF 84
World IPv6: Launched! (PDF)
Location: Hyatt Regency Vancouver
Date: Tuesday, 31 July 2012
On June 6, 2012, more than 50 access providers and thousands of websites around the globe joined together in establishing IPv6 as the "new normal" for the Internet. Participating content providers turned on IPv6 on their main sites -- for good. Participating access providers are offering IPv6 by default to their customers, and have at least 1% of their traffic to major websites over IPv6.
At a high level, it is clear that this represents a significant, concrete step forward in the deployment of operational IPv6 in the Internet. Uptake of IPv6 is not evenly distributed across all access networks for a variety of reasons and there is clearly still much work to do. This panel shared more specific numbers and perspectives outlining the impact of World IPv6 Launch.
