Comcast Business Internet and IPv6 Trials
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Comcast recently shared some long awaited news regarding IPv6 support for our Commercial Services. We will soon begin trials for Comcast Business Internet and IPv6 as such we would like to share some important details about these trials. First, customers interested in participating in these trials should submit their information using our Commercial DOCSIS IPv6 Trial Request form. Once submitted the Comcast IPv6 trial team will review each request and determine eligibility for the trial. Further, the trial will initially be conducted in areas across the Comcast footprint where the Arris C4 CMTS platform has been deployed since this is where we have been able to complete our launch of IPv6 capabilities to date.
Customers who are actively trialing our Comcast’s Metro-Ethernet (Dedicated Internet Access) are assigned a/48 sized allocation while our commercial DOCSIS product will offer a /56 delegated prefix by default and will eventually include support for both dynamic and stable allocations. Comcast Business Internet device support for IPv6 will initially include the SMC DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and Router SMCD3G-CCR (SMCD3G-CCR) and the Netgear CG3000DCR DOCSIS 3.0 Commercial Cable Modem and Router (CG3000DCR), both which are provided by Comcast. We are also please to announce that IPv6 support for our Business Class web site will soon be enabled.
The news we are sharing today represents several significant milestones for Comcast as we continue advance our IPv6 transition. We certainly expect the expanded deployment of IPv6 across our footprint and services to increase the penetration and use of IPv6, which in turn should yield significant increases in IPv6 traffic across the Comcast network and Internet ecosystem.
We hope you are as excited as we are about this news!

IPv6 has been launched on all Arris DOCSIS 3.0 C4 CMTSes, covering over 50% our network. We are targeting completion of the rest of the network by mid-2013. Our progress has led to nearly 2.5% of our Xfinity Internet customers actively using native dual stack. Additionally, IPv6 traffic has increased 375% since World IPv6 Day in June 2011. Following World IPv6 Launch in June 2012 Comcast also observed that approximately 6% of the 2012 Olympics served over YouTube to Comcast customers was over IPv6.
