APNIC 38 16th September 2014

Summary of IPv6 deployment status in Japan

n  Networks n  Many fixed-line ISPs started their commercial IPv6

service not only for enterprise users but also consumer users.

n  Some ISPs have started to move their existing IPv4 only users to dual stack environment.

n  Consumer users are increasing.

n  A few cellular carriers provide IPv6 connectivity.

n  Contents n  IPv6 ready Government’s services are increasing. n  Large contents provides do not support IPv6 yet.
