IPv6 Promotion and Deployment Project Timeline
Stakeholders Meetings Findings / IPv6 Readiness
1. High interest in moving towards IPv6 due to the following:
Difficulty in obtaining new IPv4 address spaces.
Revoking unused IPv4 addresses in some cases.
Alternatives of IPv6 are causing service complications and in some cases disruption of services.
2. Business continuity concern as in:
More subscribers to services require more public IP addresses, hence, IPv6 is highly required.
Need to catch up with the global movement towards IPv6 as users will require IPv6 capable services in the future.
New providers of internet services will lack IP addresses (the core element of their services).
2. IPv6 Transition roadmap
Some stakeholders have indicated the development of a phased IPv6 adoption strategy.
Others, have indicated some complexity issues / hesitation towards full IPv6 migration.
The majority recommended a unified IPv6 adoption guideline and the need for IPv6 training.
Preliminary Findings of the online survey
1. How would you describe the IPv6 related skills and expertise of ICT technical personnel at your organization?
42.9% Basic levels
28.5% Medium Levels
28.5% High Levels
2. Do you consider the adoption of IPv6 as an urgent matter in order to face the IPv4 depletion?
42.8 yes IPv6 is an urgent matter
57.2 No IPv6 is not an urgent matter
3. Has your organization defined a plan for IPv6 adoption?
28.5 Yes
71.5 No
4. How would you best describe the IPv6 compliance of the enterprise network infrastructure?
71.6% Mostly, more than 70% of the network elements are IPv6 compliant
14.2% Partly, 30% 70% of the network elements are IPv6 compliant
14.2% Limited, less than 30% of the network elements are IPv6 compliant
