• Motivation

-we suppose the ISP access service devices are ready for the IPv6 , then the utilization of IPv6 will be happen at any moment.

• Conduct a survey by questionnaire

• Check whether ISP internet access service device is ipv6 capable.

• Survey date: Jan 2015;

• Sample: TWNIC 61 IP registrars;

• Response rates: 98%

•Among 60 ISPs , 48 ISPs provide wired/wireless internet access services . •Within 48 ISPs, 44% and 29% ISPs provide FTTx and Cable access service respectively , which are the top 2.

Survey results •Cable , FTTx, ADSL, WiFi, 3G/3.5G, 4G are the 6 major access services • Each access service is correspond to different access devices .

Motivation

– Hinet is the largest ISP in Taiwan, and already provides FTTx

access service with IPv6.

– we suppose if 3.2 million Hinet’s FTTx users’ home gateways are all IPv6 capable, then the user availability will largely increase.

• conduct survey by reviewing home gateway spec.

from 15 major vendors/manufacturers , which are

over 50% market share.

8 vendors (53.3%) Home gateway support IPv6 7 vendors(46.7%) Home

gateway not support IPv6

5 vendors(33.3%) have IPv6-capable home gateways with

the IPv6 PPPoE function

1.ASUS 2.D-Link 3.DrayTek 4.SAPIDO 5.TP-LINK

1.Buffalo 2.Cerio 3.EDIMAX 4.HUAWEI 5.Netis 6.Tenda 7.TOTO LINK

3 vendors(20%) have IPv6-capable home gateways without the IPv6 PPPoE

function

1.LevelOne 2.NETGEAR 3.ZyXEL

Conclusion

15

• Regarding ipv6 promotion ,nowadays, to provide ipv6 internet access service is the most concern .

• For providing internet access service ,ipv6 capable access router/gateway is a must .

• Home gateway is one of the critical devices for home users to access ipv6 network.

• How to get more accurate ipv6 capable access device data? We consider to cooperate with isp/vendor/manufacturer to build a mechanism of data collection.
