It is worth mentioning that since December 5,2022, China Telecom Shenzhen Company has no longer provided direct transfer to dynamic public network IPv4 address service for newly installed ordinary broadband users and existing private network dual-stack users, while Dongguan Telecom has announced that the same policy will be implemented from February 8,2023.

In fact, many operators have announced that they will stop providing public IPv4 addresses to ordinary broadband users and will only provide dynamic IPv6 addresses instead.

IP address is an important basic resource of the Internet, and it is the basis of identification and data transmission of various Internet systems. IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) underpins the Internet boom, with 32-bit address lengths that provide about 4 billion addresses. By the end of 2019,"4.3 billion IPv4 addresses worldwide have been officially allocated." "

IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol version formulated by the International Standardization Organization IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). It not only provides a large number of address resources, but also provides basic support for network capability enhancement, technological innovation and industrial upgrading. It is a globally recognized next-generation Internet business application solution.

CTOnews.com Note: IPv6 can provide 2 to the 128th power of addresses, which can "assign an IP address to every grain of sand in the world" and comprehensively solve the problem of IP address exhaustion.

According to China IPv6 Industry Development Report (2023 Edition), as of May this year, the number of IPv6 active users in China's "Internet Protocol Version 6" has reached 763 million, and the proportion of mobile network IPv6 traffic has exceeded 50%.

According to Google statistics, the percentage of users accessing Google via IPv6 has reached 40.14%.

In April this year, the Central Network Information Office, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Work Arrangement for Deepening the Deployment and Application of IPv6 Scale in 2023, which clarified that by the end of 2023, the number of IPv6 active users will reach 750 million, the number of IPv6 connections in the Internet of Things will reach 300 million, the fixed network IPv6 traffic will account for 15%, and the mobile network IPv6 traffic will account for 55%.

Work objectives also include: network, application infrastructure carrying capacity and quality of service are better than IPv4, cloud platform and Content Delivery Network IPv6 service coverage continues to expand. New factory home wireless routers, home intelligent networking products, set-top boxes, etc. support IPv6, and IPv6 address allocation function is enabled by default.

In addition, the Work Arrangement also requires government portals at or above the county level to fully support IPv6, the IPv6 support rate of major domestic commercial websites and mobile Internet applications to reach 90%, and the number of IPv6 supported applications on application distribution platforms to significantly increase. The "IPv6+" innovation ecology and standard system have been improved, and the IPv6 network security protection capability has been continuously consolidated.
