Score how ready your estate is for IPv6 across addressing, transport, applications, security and monitoring.
Each dimension is scored as a completion percentage and combined with weights that reflect where IPv6 projects actually stall — applications and security policy rather than routers. Turning on IPv6 without security parity or monitoring coverage creates an unobserved, unfiltered path into the same servers, which is worse than not enabling it at all.
IPv6 Readiness
score = 0.20×addressing + 0.20×transport + 0.25×applications + 0.20×security + 0.15×monitoring.

This calculator takes 5 inputs: Addressing plan complete, Network devices IPv6-capable, Applications IPv6-tested, Security policy parity with IPv4, Monitoring covers IPv6. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
