IPv6 Observatory

� Digital Agenda for Europe, Action 89: eGovernment services supporting IPv6

� Based on the pilot project in the Czech Republic, IPv6 readiness benchmarking is expanding by GEN6 to other countries.

� In order to compare the comparable, the methodology for collecting URLs was set-up.

� Benchmarking involves only government institutions at all levels:

� National: ministries, legislative bodies, judicial authorities…

� Regional: representatives of regions (only in some countries)

� Local: largest cities in each country

� Data available for: Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey.

� Legislation has a power to support IPv6 deployment – institutions

affected by government resolution have about 3x higher IPv6 support

by web-servers, than the national average.

� Involvement of IPv6 criterion in various „the best website“

competitions has a similar effect with minimum effort!

Although, they are no free IPv4 address

blocks in Europe, IPv6 deployment is still

very low, both within the public

administration and business !
