Several key considerations justify 2030 as a realistic target:
- Global IPv6 Adoption Trends: Currently the global IPv6 adoption is below 50%.
- Strong reliance to IPv4: Many international networks and service providers may still rely on IPv4 beyond 2028, requiring coordination for seamless connectivity.
- Transition Complexity: Migration involves multiple stakeholders, including enterprises and end users, requiring sufficient time for full implementation.
- Capacity Building and Awareness: Additional time allows for training, outreach, and support to ensure a well-prepared transition.
- Service Continuity: A gradual approach minimises the risk of disruptions and ensures network stability.
