N2  - IPv4 addresses are increasingly unavailable. 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 well苓ocumented limitations [rfc7021],
such as interfering with peer負o計eer 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.
