IPv6
IPv6 provides enough addresses to allow the Internet to continue to expand and the industry to innovate. It is not, however, directly compatible with IPv4, meaning that a device connected via IPv4 cannot communicate directly with a device connected using IPv6.
Policies
We allocate and assign IPv6 address space in our service region according to policies developed by the RIPE community through the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP):
- IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy
- IPv6 Address Space Policy for Internet Exchange Points
- IPv6 Addresses for Internet Root Servers
- Temporary Internet Number Assignment Policies
