IPv6 Buzz 069: IPv6 And LACNIC In Latin America

In this week’s episode Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about IPv6 in Latin America with Alejandro Acosta, who has over 20 years of experience deploying networks in the region. For the past 7 years, Alejandro has been the Innovation and Development Engineer at Latin America’s Regional Internet Registry, LACNIC where he has focused on driving IPv6 adoption. In this episode he brings the stats and reasons for Latin America’s impressive IPv6 growth. Topics discussed include: * What’s the current state of IPv6 adoption in Latin America? Who’s ahead and who’s behind (and why)? * What are the biggest challenges in wider IPv6 adoption in the region? Has IPv6-only taken off at all? * Do government mandates play a role in LATAM’s IPv6 growth? Do they help or hurt? * The LACNIC region has far more ASs advertising IPv6 prefixes than other RIR regions. Why? Thanks for listening!
