The Philippines has been slow to adopt IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol, despite its importance in accommodating the growing number of devices connected to the internet. IPv6 offers nearly unlimited unique addresses, ensuring efficient internet traffic.
*Key Points:*
IPv4 IPv6
Limited to 4.3 billion unique addresses Nearly unlimited unique addresses
Addresses are depleted Ensures efficient internet traffic
The country's IPv6 uptake improved in 2020 due to:
- PLDT's large-scale rollout of IPv6
- Mobile and fixed network upgrades by other operators
- DITO's IPv6-enabled network from the start
However, deployment has slowed down since then, highlighting the need for political will and cooperation among stakeholders.
*Why Deployment is Slow:*
10% technical issues
90% political will and governance
The infrastructure is in place, but the push for IPv6 enablement and deployment is crucial for the country's digital growth.
