This site
This monitor publishes IPv6 deployment-oriented measurements (DNS, mail, web, DNSSEC, and APNIC Labs–style capability signals) for Caribbean economies. They are estimates from measurement, not a compliance certification. On the EEZ map’s IPv6 pref. % view, gray cells mean APNIC Labs preferred-% data is not available for that economy.

IPv6 Forum
The site supports the broader goals of the IPv6 Forum to advance IPv6 deployment. Caribbean-specific council narrative can be expanded here as the regional chapter evolves.
Monthly 6/6 IPv4 drill
On the 6th of every month (UTC), this site runs a planned 24-hour IPv4 maintenance window on caribbean.ipv6forum.com. During that window, connections over IPv4 receive an intentional “use IPv6 instead” signal while the service remains available over IPv6.
The drill helps measure how much traffic and tooling still depends on IPv4 before a longer-term transition. It follows the HTTP signaling described in the v6ops Internet-Draft HTTP Signaling of Planned IPv4 Unavailability (503 Service Unavailable with Retry-Over-IPv6, and related headers).
If you cannot reach this site on the 6th, your network or device may not be using IPv6 yet. Contact your Internet provider or IT help desk and ask whether IPv6 is enabled for your connection.
Why IPv6
The Internet has relied on IPv4 for decades. IPv4 address space is depleted and operational constraints grow; IPv6 preserves what works today while adding vastly more address space and clearer operational models.
