      Article summary

      Mapp Intelligence supports IPv6, improving its geo detection and analysis, device detection, filtering, and tracking. Mapp Intelligence uses IP addresses for geo data retrieval (country, region, city, ISP, organization, connection speed) and temporarily for session detection in scenarios without cookies or other identifiers.

      What are the key benefits of using IPv6?

      • Future-proofing of the processing pipeline: ensuring compatibility with the evolving internet infrastructure and supporting new technologies.

      • Improved Server-to-Server data quality for customers exclusively using IPv6. The geo and device detection data is now more accurate.

      • Compliance with regulations that mandate IPv6 support.
