Is my organization using IPv6 already?

"Many reports predict the Internet boom in the Asia Pacific will continue with strong growth in traffic, devices and users. By 2019, the region will have the most Internet traffic from mobile devices in the world. Another report on Pacific Island nations says recent submarine cable installations have resulted in an explosion of capacity. Across the Pacific, international Internet bandwidth jumped more than 1,500% between 2007 and 2014, rising from fewer than 100 Mbit/s to over 1 Gbit/s.

But those who travel the region know the availability, stability, speed, and security of Internet services vary widely from place to place. Users in some developing economies tolerate conditions that are unacceptable in the developed world, and which will seriously limit the benefits that the Internet can deliver." This is according to APNIC Foundation.

Meanwhile, the region is facing a growing list of technical challenges and one of them is the transition to IPv6. With IPv4 resources all but exhausted globally, IPv6 is the only viable option for the Internet’s future growth in the Asia Pacific region. While some organizations are embracing this, the transition is happening very slowly.
This big question is, do you know whether your organization is using IPv6 or not? Or more importantly is your organization IPv6 ready? Especially to the Asia Pacific small island countries.

Try the test.
If you do not know yet whether your company/organization is using IPv6 here is one way where you can find out.

• Go to http://test-ipv6.com/
• As soon as you hit the link above, the site will run a test on your publicly available address. 
• It will also indicate if your company is using a proxy server for internet access.

So from the test done below for Divine Word University, Madang PNG, here is the following information taken. (See screen shot below)

Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 202.165.203.64 Proxied, Via: 1.1 nuntius-new.dwu.ac.pg (squid/3.0.STABLE19)

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be TIARE-AS-PG Tiare, a business unit of Telikom PNG, PG

No IPv6 address detected

We have detected that you are using a proxy. This means we are testing your proxy server, not your computer.

Good news! Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6.

You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 Internet only. You will not be able to reach IPv6-only sites.

Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6 Internet access.

Your readiness score for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only 0/10

How does this test work?
Your browser will be instructed to reach a series of URLs. The combination of successes and failures tells a story about how ready you are for when publishers start offering their web sites on IPv6.

If you click on Tests run tab you should be able to see the tests done to give you the above results.

What does the summary above for my organization indicate then?

• Is DWU using IPv6 already? NO
• Is DWU ready for IPv6 implementation when we are forced to go IPv6 only? NO (0/10)
• Can DWU still communicate with an IPv6 only network? NO, but it is still possible if the organization I work for DWU implement NAT64 in its core network.
