If it seems like IPv6 has been an ongoing topic of conversation in the networking community for many years, that’s because it has. First introduced in 1998, there has been a gradual shift toward IPv6 over the years, and that shift is still ongoing. It formally became...
With another year coming to a close, it’s a good time to check in on the status of IPv6 and take stock of all that’s happened within the industry. While the adoption of the advanced protocol has not necessarily been as swift or widespread as was once expected (or is...

With the increasing global adoption of IPv6, does that present the Asia Pacific Region economies with an opportunity to create substantial value for the global network? In this episode of IPv6 Buzz: IPv6 in the Asia Pacific Region, Ed Horley and Tom Coffeen are joined...
We have compiled a list of the top ten countries that have adopted IPv6 as of 2022. In this post, we’ll cover some highlights, metrics, and updates on where these top countries currently stand today. However, before we get into it, let's first discuss why IPv6 is...
After years(decades?) of being programmed to work with IPv4, there are telltale signs that you might have fallen victim to a dangerous syndrome called “IPv4 thinking.” Thankfully, not only are there tests to assess if you have this syndrome, but there is a popular...
APNIC (the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) hosts a number of training events each year. With over 50 tutorials, workshops, and online labs and courses, APNIC Academy is an incredible resource to the networking community. The online course that caught our...
