September Deadline Looms as U.S. Federal Government Pushes Toward 60% IPv6 Deployment

The clock is ticking toward the end of FY2026, and the federal government's next major IPv6 milestone is rapidly approaching. While many agencies missed the original FY2025 objective, the Trump administration is continuing federal IT modernization efforts as agencies push ahead with IPv6 deployment across government networks. Proposed transition milestones call for 60% IPv6-only deployment by the end of FY2026, 80% by the end of FY2027, and full IPv6-only deployment by the end of FY2028 as the government continues reducing reliance on legacy IPv4 infrastructure.

The push to mandatory IPv6 is coming, with the majority of traffic already being IPv6, and there are now efforts to normalize rolling IPv4 blackouts to bring remaining client networks into compliance.
