IPv6 Connectivity to GÉANT

IPv6 service on GÉANT has made very rapid progress since the completion of the service's pilot phase. Nearly all of the GÉANT partners now have IPv6-enabled connections. Furthermore, the majority of these connections are native rather than tunnelled.

The tables below provide information on the connection type and date of GÉANT's NREN partners, and also of the other international organisations, commercial and NRENs, with whom GÉANT peers.
