IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP) address standard that will supplement and eventually replace IPv4, the protocol many Internet services still use today.
The Internet Society is highly involved in all aspects of IPv6, from its ongoing technical work in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to increasing its real-world deployment with the help of our Deploy360 Programme.
Deploy360 provides hands on, technical deployment information to network operators responsible for implementing new technologies and standards on their own networks.
Most of our IPv6 work is found directly in the Deploy360 IPv6 section. See the Featured Resources box above for a quick start.
