Assessing IPv6 Readiness and Adoption in

This research examines the current state of IPv6
adoption in Palestine, comparing it to the global and regional
adoption trends, particularly in Arab countries. While the
global IPv6 adoption rate exceeds 45%, and Arab countries
average 12.79%, Palestine remains at a negligible adoption rate.
Through a mixed-method approach that includes experiments,
technical analysis, and stakeholder interviews, the study
highlights the readiness of end-user devices for IPv6, primarily
due to international compliance standards. However, significant
challenges exist within Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and
large enterprises in Palestine, such as dual-stack resource
demands, insufficient technical expertise, and lack of customer
demand. This paper underscores the urgent need for a national
strategy, stakeholder collaboration, and increased awareness to
accelerate IPv6 transition in Palestine. Recommendations are
made to address these obstacles and position Palestine for future
compatibility in the global internet ecosystem
