1、Global IPv6 Development Report 2024IPv6 Development Analysis and Policy Suggestions REPORTWith the advent of the digital economy era,digitalization,network integration,and intelligent transformation have become the main themes of society development and a new engine driving economic growth.As the fo
2、undation of digital economy infrastructure,IP networks face numerous new demands in the new era,including ubiquitous connectivity,interconnection of myriad networks,fusion of virtual and physical realms,and convergence of computing and networking.However,in the face of exponentially growing address
3、requirements driven by emerging services,the dwindling supply of IPv4 addresses has imposed an invisible constraint on the development of the Internet.Consequently,the large-scale deployment of IPv6 and technology innovations based on IPv6 have emerged as the main path for the evolution and upgradin
4、g of the Internet.The intrinsic motivation driving IPv6 development not only stems from the expansion of public IP address space in response to IPv4 exhaustion,but more significantly,from the flexibility,scalability,and programmability that the IPv6 protocol introduces,which collectively open up vas
5、t horizons for network technology innovation.The application of IPv6 innovative technologies,referred to as IPv6 Enhanced,including Segment Routing(SRv6),Network Slicing,In-situ Flow Information Telemetry(IFIT),Application-Aware Networking(APN6),and advanced multicast technologies like bit index exp
6、licit replication(BIERv6),is set to further unlock the technical potential of IPv6.This will cater to the diverse needs of applications and introduce a next-generation internet that is more efficient,open,intelligent,and secure.By doing so,it lays the groundwork for the upgrading of the internet ind
