The current state of IPv6 the deployment at Lancaster is that native IPv6 has now been enabled all the way down to the Computing Department and is now being used in a number of R&D activities. This is significant not least because it has necessitated upgrading the connectivity all the way from the regional network core, through the University infrastructure down to the Computing Department.

With this now complete, the continued rollout of native IPv6 over the campus is now possible and it is also being used to replace the existing tunnelled infrastructure in the Computing department. Additionally, IPv6 services are expected to come online shortly starting with DNS (and DHCPv6 when possible) and moving out from there.
