This document summarizes a presentation given at EuroDIG on June 14, 2012 about IPv4 depletion, IPv6 deployment, and the RIPE NCC's efforts to promote IPv6 adoption. It discusses how the RIPE NCC region has the most IPv4 addresses remaining compared to other regions. It also provides data on the level of IPv6 enablement among networks in the RIPE NCC service area and lists resources the RIPE NCC provides like an IPv6 roadshow program and best practice documents to help members transition to IPv6.
