APNIC's role in IPv6 Deployment
The Asia Pacific community expects APNIC to take a leadership role in the challenge to address the issues involved in IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 deployment.
While APNIC cannot actively participate in specific deployments on behalf of Member organizations, it does play a significant role in the introduction of IPv6 in the Asia Pacific and globally.
