TWNIC於民國90年制訂「財團法人台灣網路資訊中心網域名稱爭議處理辦法暨實施要點（TWDRP）」，以一套更快速、有效的訴訟外紛爭解決機制。111年度經網域名稱爭議處理機制執行之案件共計14件（14筆網域名稱），分別為5件（5筆網域名稱） 由資策會科技法律研究所受理，9件（9筆網域名稱）由台北律師公會受理。截至111年底，其專家小組決定結果為11件移轉（11筆網域名稱）；1件申訴駁回（1筆網域名稱）；2件程序進行中（2筆網域名稱）
The TWNIC is responsible for the management of .tw and .台灣 domain name registrations. To fulfill market demands and in an effort to provide registration service in more languages, the TWNIC introduced the domain name auction and internationalized domain name (IDN) registration service of Korean, Thai, German and French in 2019.
By the end of 2022, the total number of .tw/.台灣 domain names registered was 537,391, comprising 362,068 Third Level Domain Names, 174,875 Second Level Domain Names, and 448 “at.tw” domain names.

In accordance with the decisions made by the panelists, 11 of the dispute cases (11 domain names) were transferred; 1 (1 domain name) was rejected; 2(2 domain names) were in progress.
網際網路已成為生活上不可或缺的一環，從早期的電腦使用，已演變到無所不在，物物連網都需要有 IP 的重要基礎設施。台灣 IP 位址至2022年底核發數量，在 IPv4 位址發放數量統計上，台灣共取得3,569萬個 IPv4 位址，數量居全球第15名；取得的 IPv6 數量為2,581個 /32 IPv6 位址；核發的自治系統號碼（ASN）為420個。IP（Internet Protocol）位址即網際網路協定位址，如同門牌地址，主要提供用戶於網際網路上接收與傳送資訊。因應全球IPv4位址用罄，啟用IPv6更符合未來多元行動終端及萬物聯網發展需求，尤其是物聯網、智慧家庭、車聯網/自駕車、智慧城市及醫療健康照護等應用。網際網路版本6（IPv6, Internet Protocol version 6）是下一代網際網路協定，它被設計用來替代當前網際網路通訊協定IPv4，位址長度由32位元提升至128位元，IPv6位址空間多達2的128次方個位址。因此，IPv6可以直接解決物聯網面臨之位址不足問題，並且保持網路互連透通性，物體裝置可以進行任何形式之雙向連線。
108年中華電信，遠傳，台哥大及亞太預設提供 IPv4/IPv6 雙協定服務，並推動台灣寬頻通訊 (TBC)成為第一家採用IPv4/IPv6 的有線電視系統業者。依據APNIC IPv6量測網站資料指出，台灣IPv6使用者比例至111年底為49.09%，全球排名第16。
The Internet has become an indispensable part of modern life. From an era when the Internet was only available on computers, it has evolved to become omnipresent. Currently, almost all modern devices require an IP address to be connected to the Internet. At the end of 2022, Taiwan was ranked 15th globally in terms of the number of IPv4 addresses possessed (i.e., 35.69 million addresses). The number of IPv6 addresses obtained by Taiwan by the end of 2022 was approximately 2,581 /32 IPv6 address blocks, whereas the number of autonomous system numbers issued was approximately 420.
An IP address is similar to a property address in real life. Its purpose is to enable users to receive or transmit information on the Internet. In response to the global exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 was introduced to replace IPv4. IPv6 is regarded as being able to better fulfill the developmental needs of future diversified mobile terminals and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, particularly for IoT applications, such as smart homes, Internet-connected vehicles/self-driving cars, smart cities, and medical healthcare applications. The length of IPv6 addresses is 128 bits (as opposed to 32 bits in IPv4 addresses), which means that IPv6 address space allows for 2 128 unique IPv6 addresses. Therefore, IPv6 can resolve the problem of insufficient addresses faced by the IoT industry and can maintain the transparency of network interconnections; devices can carry out any form of bidirectional connection.
The Chunghwa Telecom, FETnet, Taiwan Mobile and Asia Pacific Telecom provided dual stack iPv4/ IPv6 service by default. And the Taiwan Broadband Communications, Co., Ltd. has become the first MSO to provide iPv4/ IPv6 service.
According to data from the APNIC's website for measuring IPv6, the adoption rate of IPv6 in Taiwan by the end of 2022 was 49.09%, meaning Taiwan was ranked 16th in iPv6 usage globally.
