*ADVANCING THE INTERNET *
*Action Plan for the deployment of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in Europe *
12:41
It is the objective of this Action Plan to support the widespread introduction of the next version of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) because
- Timely implementation of IPv6 is required as the pool of IP addresses provided by the current protocol version 4 is being depleted.
- IPv6 with its huge address space provides a platform for innovation in IP based services and applications.
