IPV6 in Nepal

Internet Protocol Version 6, aka IPv6, is use is growing in Nepal and contributing significantly to the region. As per the regional IP Address Registry APNIC, Nepal is staying 3rd in South Asia. The rise of IPv6 signifies Nepal’s improving internet connectivity alongside the bandwidth capacity and better technologies.

APNIC’s record shows a continuous growth of IPV6 in Nepal. In its latest metrics, Nepal’s IPv6 capability reached 26.02% while the IPv4 preference climbed 25.41% as of February 01, 2022. The IPV6 capability stood 12.73% on January 1, 2021, while at the time, the preference was 11.84%. Nepal’s IPv6 capability was further behind before that.

2022 February 26.02%25.41%
2021 January12.73%11.84%
2020 January3.11%2.98%

The current stats seem a milestone when compared to data in early 2020. On January 3 of that year, Nepali internet’s IPv6 capability was just a tiny 3.11%. It also mimicked on the ‘Preference’ which was a tiny 2.98%.

WorldLink Tops Nepal’s IPv6 Internet Stats

Nepal’s yearly growth of IPV6 internet protocol has also translated to better numbers in Southern Asia as it ranks 3rd in the rank. And among the ISPs in Nepal, WorldLink sits comfortably atop.

Also the largest ISP in Nepal by the number of subscribers, Worldlink contributed 67.9% of IPv6 of Nepal’s total internet traffic. At second is Classic Tech with 62.05% IPv6 capability. The Butwal-based Palsnet comes at third with 21.88%. Subisu and Websurfer come at fourth and fifth with 7.50%, and 3.44% IPv6 Capability respectively.

Meanwhile, 50.41% of the internet activities in Southern Asia were IPv6 capable against Asia’s 32.69% and the world’s 27.25%. Source.

What is IPv6?

IPV6 is the most advanced Internet Protocol which provides identification and location for computers and other connected devices on the internet. IPv6 comes in contrast with its predecessor IPv4 with the latest bringing support for more devices and increased security. Public Addresses with IPV6 is the future for all connected and sensing devices including IoT.

A key difference between these two is that IPV4 is a 32-bit address, while IPv6 is a 128-bit hexadecimal address. This translates to a higher address capacity for IPv6. It supports more IP addresses for devices and enables a much better connection between them. It also brings better internet security, authentication, and integration.

Nepal’s internet bandwidth has reached 1 Tbps as the ISPs have also launched mega high-speed packages. And this also requires a more efficient internet for the consumers. For this, companies have been pitching for IPv6 internet for a while. As it seems, the Nepali internet space is transitioning from the traditional IPv4 to IPv6.

The data shows that IPv6 is growing in Nepal but it still requires further attention. Because there is an uneven distribution of IPv6-based internet service by the ISPs in Nepal. Except for the 5 companies we mentioned above, the majority of them fare low with below 1%. But it is likely to improve as the current Internet Speed War continues inspiring a great broadband revolution in the country and the internet itself evolves over time.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
