Title
Why are We Reluctant to Deploy IPv6?
Abstract
World IPv6 Launch event was held on 6 June 2012, and more than 2 years have
passed since then. There been some remarkable IPv6 deployments on the
access side, as can be seen on the World IPv6 Launch measurements
website. But on the content side very little IPv6 has been deployed, outside
of the Hyper Giants (e.g. Google, Youtube and Facebook).
People keep saying that the adoption of IPv6 is a chicken-and-egg
problem between access and content. Most engineers say much
the same thing, don't know what to do, and then just shut off their brain.
It isn't clear why we don't deploy IPv6 on services that don't currently
support IPv6. We haven't discussed why we are reluctant to deploy IPv6.
I think this is one of the reasons that IPv6 deployments don't run as
smoothly as expected.
In this session, we will discuss why we are reluctant to deploy IPv6
(including in global situations), and think about the missing pieces for
the furthering of IPv6 deployment.
