In most areas, there is a market for addresses, which is or will be increasing the cost of providing Internet service [TCO of CGN], or driving the use of IPv4 address sharing technologies, which have welldocumented limitations [rfc7021], such as interfering with peertopeer communication. IPv6 provides an alternative, but its adoption has been irregular, varying both by country and among web and consumer access providers. In this paper we survey countries where IPv6 adoption has been strongest, and some where it has been weak, to determine commonalities of policy or practice that have been most effective in promoting deployment of IPv6. We find evidence that government policies help in web deployment, and that IPv6 Internet access is more closely associated with a single company or small group. We also offer evidence that small groups are the most successful at raising deployment among both web and ISP measures. date: 2014-09-13 date_type: published publisher: SSRN official_url: https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2417079 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2099824 doi: 10.2139/ssrn.2417079 lyricists_name: Sowell, Jesse lyricists_id: JSOWE95 actors_name: Sowell, Jesse actors_id: JSOWE95 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: SSRN Electronic Journal place_of_pub: Fairfax, VA, USA event_title: 2014 TPRC Conference issn: 1556-5068 book_title: Proceedings of TPRC 42: The 42nd Research Conference on Communication, Information and Internet Policy citation: Howard, Lee; Sowell, Jesse; (2014) A Comparison of Public Policy Approaches to the IPv4-IPv6 Transition.
