Welcome to the IPv6 Forum Pacific Islands

The New Internet
IPv6 is the shortened form for Internet Protocol Version 6. IPv6 is designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) as the successor to IPv4. IPv6 seeks to solve various issues with the current implementation of IPv4 including shortage of addresses and adds features such as network auto-configuration and improvements to routing and security.

IPv6 Forum Pacific Islands is a Chapter of the global IPv6 Forum and provides leadership, education, information and resources on IPv6 to aid its adoption and deployment in the Pacific Islands.
