Global IPv6 Deployment Progress Report
By Mike Leber This page was developed in order to provide metrics for global IPv6 deployment. These statistics are updated daily. Please send questions, comments, or bugs to mleber@he.net The tools for this report were developed while working on a paper titled " Going Native " about Hurricane's experience of adding extensive native IPv6 peering as a result of a core router and backbone upgrade. Top Level Domains with IPv6 support The root nameservers contain NS records listing the nameservers for the Top Level Domains (TLDs) and A and AAAA glue records to get to those nameservers. Top level domains include domain name suffixes such as .com .net .org .us .ca etc. Each TLD has specific authorative nameservers. To support IPv6 these nameservers should: Have an IPv6 address themselves and native IPv6 connectivity so that they can be reached over IPv6. Have AAAA records for their IPv6 address (glue records) in the root zone. Be able to return AAAA (IPv6)
