Survey by the eco Competence Group Networks The Internet has grown much more than originally expected, and for years the required address space has no longer been sufficient. Already in 1998, 25 years ago, IPv6 was published as an official standard with RFC 2460. IPv6 has been on the rise at the protocol level for about 10 years. According to Google, 43% of all users now use IPv6. In Germany the proportion is 66%, in France even 75% (https://www.google.de/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption).The still ongoing transition phase is characterised by the fact that many systems can handle both IPv4 and IPv6. This dual path only makes sense for a transitional period; in the long term, it ties up unnecessary resources in the networks - with scarce engineering capacities, in call centres, etc. This means that the time is approaching when IPv6 is to be applied as the rule and IPv4 becomes the exception. eco would like to support its members in the changeover. The survey will be conducted anonymously. The following four questions will help us to determine the status quo. We would like to present the results of the IPv6 survey in detail at a virtual meeting on 3 March 2023. (This question is mandatory) Do you feel sufficiently informed about IPv6? Choose one of the following answers Yes No Please enter your comment here: (This question is mandatory) In your opinion, what are the obstacles to widespread acceptance? Choose one of the following answers The necessary expertise is lacking We currently see no need for Reasons for costs Others Please enter your comment here: (This question is mandatory) Do you plan any activities on IPv6 in 2023? Choose one of the following answers Yes No Please enter your comment here: (This question is mandatory) Which of the following statements apply most to you (multiple answers possible)? Check all that apply IPv6 is a hype that we are currently not participating in We are still completely on IPv4, and are not currently planning a changeover. We are still completely on IPv4, but have concrete plans to switch to IPv6 We are "halfway there" We mainly use IPv6, but we will not be able to do without IPv4 in the next few years. We use IPv6 for over 90% We consider IPv4 to be dispensable for our services from 2026 at the latest OPTIONAL: Feel free to inform me about the presentation of the results on 3 March 2022 11:00 am.
