IPv6 “Ripeness”: the hard numbers on ISPs and deployment rates

July 21st, 2010 · No Comments

As the unallocated IPv4 address pool runs out, are Internet Service Providers (ISPs) actually deploying IPv6?

This graph, the first in a series from RIPE Labs, looks at the IPv6 “ripeness” of all ISPs registered as RIPE NCC members. We created a rating system that gives ISPs up to four “stars” for IPv6 services that they provide, based on the following criteria:http://www.ipv6actnow.org/wp-admin/post-new.php?preview=true

• The ISP has an IPv6 allocation
• The address prefix is actually routed on the Internet
• A route6 object is registered in the RIPE Database
• Reverse DNS has been set up
