The adoption of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the next version of the widely used IPv4, is key to ensure the interoperability, scalability, stability, and security of the Internet. This report provides an overview of the current level of adoption of the IPv6 protocol in Q3 2023 across EU Member States, compared to the global adoption status. The analysis uses a set of publicly available data sources, as well as data collected from our own measurements, for estimating the rate of adoption of IPv6 across two dimensions: (a) end-user adoption, i.e. end-user hosts capable of using IPv6 to connect to the Internet, and (b) server-side adoption, i.e. Internet services that can operate over IPv6.
