Open network, open standards
–
Developed within IETF system (RFC series)
–
TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, IPSEC, etc etc
–
“Dumb network” – global p2p datagram service
•
“IP over Everything”
–
Layered networking model (a la OSI)
–
Relying on ITU and IEEE standards
–
Serial line, Modem, Ethernet, ISDN, xDSL,
cable/fibre, MPLS, 802.11x, Mobile 2G/3G…
•
Platform for competition and innovation
–
Great benefits to consumers

Many approaches discussed in regional
meetings
–
Policy and procedural measures adopted
–
Some policies regional, some global
•
Hard landing: The “do nothing” approach
–
Too much risk for serious consideration
•
Soft landing: measures to extend lifetime
–
Rationing (eg /8 last block)
–
Stricter justification requirements

Reclaiming unused IPv4 addresses
–
Transfer policies

IPv4 address exhaustion is inevitable

August 2012: APNIC is the first RIR to exhaust
its IPv4 address pool

IPv6 should be inevitable
•
The only solution to IPv4 exhaustion
•
Protocol is 10 years old
•
Under a news spotlight for at least 18 months
•
The transition…
•
Requires all stakeholders to act, but differently

Address management is not the issue in
IPv6 deployment
•
Policies are stable and unrelated to deployment
•
All efforts should go to IPv6 deployment

Governments: Policies and procurement

•
ISPs will need addresses for new network
infrastructure
–
and will receive only IPv6
•
End users will start receiving IPv6 Internet
services
–
With or without private IPv4 addresses
•
Enterprises and businesses will get IPv6 for
their new networks
–
“Customer NAT” will apply to IPv4
•
All Internet users will be affected
•
What will you need to do?

This content discusses the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, the projected exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, global distribution of IPv4 addresses, efforts to mitigate IPv4 consumption, and the inevitable need for IPv6 adoption. It provides insights into the challenges faced by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in managing address allocations and highlights the importance of stakeholders coming together to facilitate a smooth transition. The timeline, issues, and potential strategies for addressing the IPv4 address depletion are explored in detail.
