Comcast On Pace To Complete IPv6 Network Rollout By Early 2014

Comcast has deployed native IPv6 support to more than 75% of its broadband network, making it the world’s largest, and said it is now on pace to complete the job by early 2014.

That milestone and what’s expected by early 2014 comes about eight years after the operator started to prepare for IPv6 and about four years after Comcast started its customer-facing trials and deployments. “The rubber really started to hit the road in late 2009 and early 2010,” said John Brzozowski, Comcast fellow and the cable operator’s chief IPv6 architect.
