IPv6 Transition Mechanisms Supported by CPEs Used in the Region
31/03/2020
The majority of the most popular Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in Latin America and the Caribbean work with IPv6 and many support at least one transition mechanism.
These are some of the conclusions of the report commissioned by LACNIC on the IPv6 transition mechanisms supported by the region’s CPEs.
The research was led by Alejandro D´Egidio and assessed the deployment of CPEs with IPv6 support in LAC, as well as the most popular transition mechanisms supported by CPEs.
D’Egidio stressed that the transition to IPv6 should be improved by providing more training to technical staff and decision makers. “In many cases, they don’t begin working on IPv6 transition due to a lack of information, as they don’t know where to start or don’t realize that they may already have everything they need to do so,” he noted.
What were the main results of the research?
Research results depended largely on the collaboration of ISPs and CPE vendors. Only some of the ISPs in the region participated, most of which are already offering IPv6. Out of all the vendors we surveyed, ZTE, Sagemcom and Technicolor collaborated with the study.
Based on the information provided by both groups regarding the CPE models deployed in each access technology, we observed that the majority supports IPv6 and several support at least one transition mechanism.

This leads us to believe that a large number of CPEs already in use are currently ready to support IPv6 deployments and that it’s simply a matter of ISPs being able to adapt the rest of their infrastructure to start offering the v6 Internet protocol.
How many IPv6-ready CPE devices are deployed in the region? Which transition mechanisms do the most popular CPEs support?
A large number of CPE devices with IPv6 support is already deployed in the region. Most of these CPEs support DS-Lite as a transition mechanism.
