Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this article is to provide several viewpoints about monitoring aspects related to recent deployments of a new technology (IPv6).

Design/methodology/approach

–

Several views and domains were used, with a common point: the Portuguese research and education network (RCTS).

Findings

–

A significant amount of work is yet to be done, in order to mature the deployment of this new internet technology.

Research limitations/implications

–

The equipment whence the data were collected still has some limitations regarding the new technology. Future datasets may benefit from wider deployments.

Practical implications

–

The work also demonstrates that IPv6 deployment is in its early stages, which is negative, given the projected dates for IPv4 exhaustion.

Originality/value

–

The findings and the work described will be useful for people trying to deploy IPv6 networks in the short or medium timeframe.
