“Implementation Plan for Deepening Internet Protocol Sixth Edition (IPv6) Technology Innovation and Integrated Application (2026-2030)” released

The Zhitong Finance App learned that recently, the Central Cyber Security and Information Technology Commission issued the “Implementation Plan for Deepening the Sixth Edition of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) Technology Innovation and Integrated Application (2026-2030)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Plan”). The “Implementation Plan” clearly states that by 2027, the level of IPv6 end-to-end penetration will be improved comprehensively, and important milestones will be achieved in technological innovation and integrated applications. The number of active IPv6 users reached 900 million, accounting for 38% of IPv6 network traffic. By 2030, IPv6 will be widely and deeply integrated with various fields in various economic and social industries to build an IPv6 industrial ecosystem with advanced technology, open innovation, endogenous self-driving, and safe and reliable. The number of active IPv6 users reached 950 million, accounting for 42% of IPv6 network traffic. By default, new networks give priority to providing IPv6 addresses, accelerate the evolution to IPv6 single stack, and promote the formation of an IPv6-led network service and application system.

The Central Cybersecurity and Information Technology Commission issued the “Implementation Plan for Deepening Internet Protocol Sixth Edition (IPv6) Technology Innovation and Integrated Application (2026-2030)”

Recently, the Central Cyber Security and Information Technology Commission issued the “Implementation Plan for Deepening Internet Protocol Sixth Edition (IPv6) Technology Innovation and Integrated Application (2026-2030)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Plan”). The “Implementation Plan” adheres to Xi Jinping's ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, thoroughly implements the spirit of the 20th National Congress and the 20th Plenary Session of the CPC, earnestly implements the deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, comprehensively implements General Secretary Xi Jinping's important ideas on a cyber power, completely, accurately and comprehensively implements the new development concept, and clarifies the road map, schedule and task book for deepening IPv6 technology innovation and integrated applications. It is a guiding document for the high-quality development of IPv6 during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period.

The “Implementation Plan” states that the “15th Five-Year Plan” period is a critical period for China's IPv6 transition from large-scale deployment to full empowerment. It is necessary to promote the full empowerment of IPv6 and high-quality economic and social development as the main line, focus on deepening IPv6 technology innovation and integrated applications, focus on improving the level of IPv6 end-to-end penetration, focus on building an IPv6 industry ecosystem, comprehensively enhance the momentum of IPv6 endogenous development, consolidate and expand the advantages of innovation and development, promote a strong leap forward in digital networking and intelligence in various industries and fields, and provide support for the construction of a strong network power.

The “Implementation Plan” clearly states that by 2027, the level of IPv6 end-to-end penetration will be improved comprehensively, and important milestones will be achieved in technological innovation and integrated applications. The number of active IPv6 users reached 900 million, accounting for 38% of IPv6 network traffic. By 2030, IPv6 will be widely and deeply integrated with various fields in various economic and social industries to build an IPv6 industrial ecosystem with advanced technology, open innovation, endogenous self-driving, and safe and reliable. The number of active IPv6 users reached 950 million, accounting for 42% of IPv6 network traffic. By default, new networks give priority to providing IPv6 addresses, accelerate the evolution to IPv6 single stack, and promote the formation of an IPv6-led network service and application system.

Focusing on the “15th Five-Year Plan” development goals, the “Implementation Plan” focuses on key aspects of IPv6 technology innovation and integrated application, and deploys 36 key tasks in 10 areas, including strengthening technology research and integration innovation, promoting standard setting and implementation, strengthening management system standards, promoting single-stack technology research and deployment applications, enhancing network and application facility service capabilities, improving terminal support capabilities, deepening commercial Internet application transformation, expanding industry integration applications, strengthening talent training and promotion, and enhancing security and security capabilities.

The “Implementation Plan” emphasizes that under the leadership of the Central Internet Information Commission, the Central Network Information Office, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments, will strengthen coordination and central-local coordination, improve mechanisms to promote efficient collaborative work, consolidate work responsibilities, promote implementation of mission goals, and achieve high-quality IPv6 development in the “15th Five-Year Plan”.
