Seven years ago, on 6 June 2012, thousands of network operators / Internet Service Providers, content providers, website operators, businesses and organizations came together to permanently enable IPv6 on their networks and sites. It’s been amazing to see the the growth since that time! Google’s IPv6 statistics show excellent growth from 2012 with their global IPv6 stats now around 25%.
Our own IPv6 measurements also show that continued growth, with some network operators showing now over 60%, 70% and even 90% IPv6 deployment.
This is great to see, and we look forward to seeing the growth continue over the years ahead.
To that end, what can you do today to help promote further growth of IPv6?
If you are seeking ideas, we have several suggestions:
Or… whatever else you can do to help IPv6 grow! Thank you for your help – and let’s see how we get to even higher deployment numbers.
Happy 7th Launchiversary!
We just published this month’s IPv6 network operator measurements and I’d like to highlight one particularly exciting development in IPv6 deployment from French ISP Free.
Free SAS – (AS12322), part of the Illiad group, is a French telecommunications company that provides voice, video, data, and Internet telecommunications to consumers in France. Free were an early adopter of IPv6 and deployed their original IPv6 infrastructure in only 5 weeks at the end of 2007 thanks to an innovative 6rd (IPv6 rapid deployment) proposal by Rémi Després. This month’s IPv6 network operator measurements show Free SAS ranked 17th (up from 28th last month) with an IPv6 deployment percentage of 72.73% (up from 45.61% last month). This represents a huge monthly increase and is further proof that Free can deploy IPv6 at scale in very short order.

We just published this month’s IPv6 network operator measurements and they include evidence of some major new IPv6 deployments that I’d like to highlight here.
Telmex (AS8151), is a Mexican telecommunications company headquartered in Mexico City that provides telecommunications products and services in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and other countries in Latin America. Telmex is the dominant fixed-line phone carrier in Mexico. This month’s IPv6 network operator measurements show Telmex ranked 14th globally with a rapidly growing IPv6 deployment percentage of 29.28%.
EE (AS12576), is a British mobile network operator, Internet service provider and a division of BT Group. It was established in 2010 as a 50:50 joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and France Télécom through the merger of their respective T-Mobile and Orange businesses in the UK. This month’s IPv6 network operator measurements show EE ranked 52nd globally with an IPv6 deployment percentage of 34.34%.
There also seems to be deployment taking place in China as evidenced by measurements of China Telecom and we may have more to say about that next month. Until then, you can view the full listing of newly updated IPv6 network operator measurements for this month.
