Discovery of IPv6 router addresses using Subnet-Router Anycast addresses
Guest Post: Identifying active IPv6 addresses helps assess deployment, reveal gaps, and detect vulnerable devices. Subnet-Router Anycast (SRA) probing removes the need for prior knowledge of address allocation.
APNIC and NNIX collaborate to strengthen RPKI and IPv6 deployment in China
APNIC and NNIX have signed an MoU to advance RPKI and IPv6 deployment in China, including plans for an RPKI repository mirror in Hangzhou — the first of its kind in the region. The partnership combines infrastructure, training, and community engagement to support a more secure and resilient regional Internet.
IPv6 in the boardroom
Guest Post: IPv6 can be seen as an infrastructure refresh, rather than an organizational responsibility tied to governance, risk, and compliance. Reframe it in those terms, and it shifts from a network discussion to a board-level obligation.
Google hits 50% IPv6
IPv6 has reached a major milestone, with around half of Google’s users now accessing its services over IPv6.
Setting up Akvorado: A NetFlow analyser for your IPv6-first network
How to deploy Akvorado in a SOHO network to gain real-time visibility into traffic flows and improve IPv6 performance.
Strengthening IPv6 collaboration: Xiong’an New Area delegates visit APNIC
APNIC welcomed delegates from Xiong’an New Area to present the IPv6 City Plaque and discuss continued technical cooperation. The visit highlighted Xiong’an’s large‑scale IPv6 deployment and its 2026 Future City competitions.
Project IPv6-first: A case study in achieving an 80% native IPv6 SOHO network
Guest Post: How a modern SOHO network can achieve an 80% native IPv6 ratio by leveraging NetFlow insights to identify residual IPv4 paths and eliminate them.
Key moments from the APNIC AGM at APRICOT 2026
The AGM provides an opportunity to learn more about APNIC and to ask questions of the EC.
Make this one change to prevent IPv6 routing loops in your network
Guest Post: Routing loops cause packets to circulate between routers. This can congest links, enable DDoS attacks, and ultimately reduce the stability and reliability of the Internet. The good news is that IPv6 routing loops are easy to prevent.
