Among the IP addresses indicating the location of the Internet, IPv4 addresses were depleted in North America in September 2015, and IPv4 addresses in Europe were exhausted, including reserves, in November 2019. As a countermeasure against this IP address exhaustion problem, IPv6 implementation is underway worldwide. Akamai, a major CDN operator, is drawing attention by revealing the spread of IPv6 by country.
The published IPv6 supply status is displayed on a world map, and the countries with higher IPv6 penetration rates are filled with darker colors. When you hover the mouse cursor, the IPv6 penetration rate is displayed, but in Korea, it is at 19.3%. By comparison, 41.4% in the US and 40.6% in Japan. India has the highest penetration rate with 62%, followed by Belgium with 47.6% and Malaysia with 44.9%. Meanwhile, in Africa, the penetration rate is not displayed in many countries, such as 0.6% in South Africa. Related information can be found here.
