Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this article is to provide several viewpoints about monitoring aspects related to recent deployments of a new technology (IPv6).Design/methodology/approachSeveral views and domains were used, with a common point: the Portuguese research and education network (RCTS).FindingsA significant amount of work is yet to be done, in order to mature the deployment of this new internet technology.Research limitations/implicationsThe equipment whence the data were collected still has some limitations regarding the new technology. Future datasets may benefit from wider deployments.Practical implicationsThe work also demonstrates that IPv6 deployment is in its early stages, which is negative, given the projected dates for IPv4 exhaustion.Originality/valueThe findings and the work described will be useful for people trying to deploy IPv6 networks in the short or medium timeframe.
