Abstract :
The European Union is supporting a number of IPv6 related research and development activities, which account for over 90 Million Euros of funding, with a matching funding from European industry. While IPv6 is now widely deployed in the European research networks, and many good initiatives have been made - including IPv6 over power line communications and new IPv6 multicast methods - commercial deployment is only just starting. In this paper we review the European research projects, future networking trends and the commercial deployment status in a number of member countries.
