This document provides an overview and schedule for an APNIC Member Gathering in Guangzhou, China in April 2017. The schedule includes presentations on IPv4 exhaustion, IPv4 transfers, IPv6 deployment status, and an introduction to APNIC services. Statistics are presented on IPv4 and IPv6 allocations and deployments in China and globally by year. Key topics covered include the current IPv4 and IPv6 policies of each RIR, IPv4 transfer policies and procedures, and the higher levels of IPv6 deployment seen in some Asia Pacific countries and networks.

9. Current IPv4 delegation policy and practice
in each region
• APNIC: Maximum of a /22 from final /8 (103/8). Requests
for additional /22 from recovered pool will be put on the
waiting list
• RIPE NCC: Maximum of a /22 from the final /8 pool for
each Member
• ARIN has exhausted their IPv4 free pool. All requests will
be put on a waiting list
• LACNIC: Maximum of a /22 for new Members only
• AFRINIC: Reached their final /8 in April 2017. Minimum of a
/24 and maximum of a /13

10. IPv4 Transfer
Policy and
Procedure
10

11. Why we need IPv4 transfers?
11
• To allow for the efficient use of
currently unused IPv4 space
• To maintain the integrity of the
APNIC registration database

12. Who can transfer?
• Current APNIC account holders
– Transfers within APNIC region
• Current APNIC account holders and account holders at
other RIRs (ARIN and RIPE NCC) that allow transfers
to/from the APNIC region
– Inter-RIR transfers
12

13. • Transfer minimum size – a /24
• Addresses must be part of APNIC’s pools and registered to
a current account
• Addresses must not be associated with disputes of
custodianship
• Addresses are subject to all current APNIC policies from
the time of transfer
• Recipients must provide justification

15. Recipients: Before transfer between APNIC
accounts
• Prepare your justification
– A detailed 24-month plan for future use
– Information on past IPv4 usage and its compliance with APNIC policy
• Send your justification for approval
– Get ‘pre-approval’ before you start your transfer
• Have your pre-approval published on APNIC’s website
– Allows you to get source contacts
• Join the APNIC transfer mailing list
• You may wish to engage an IPv4 broker
• Ask the source to initiate the transfer
15

16. Submitting transfer requests: between
APNIC accounts
– The source is to initiate the transfer
– Get the recipient’s APNIC account name
– Check the address ranges carefully
– Use MyAPNIC to send the transfer to the recipient
– When receiving notification from the source, use MyAPNIC to accept
the transfer within 30 days
– Provide needs justification if you do not have ‘pre-approval’

18. In coming Inter-RIR Transfer
Procedure
• Submit your IPv4 pre-approval request via MyAPNIC for
Hostmaster evaluation
• After approval, consider using the APNIC transfer listing
service to publicize your need
• Locate the source of IPv4 addresses in the other region
and reach an agreement with them
• The source initiates the IPv4 transfer via their respective
RIR
• The respective RIR Hostmaster contacts an APNIC
Hostmaster to process the transfer

19. Who pays the APNIC transfer fee?

20. How to calculate the transfer fee
• Fees are charged in AUD
• 20% of the annual fee for the
IPv4 to be transferred
– E.g. /24 is AUD 210 (20% of 1,050)
• Membership annual fee
calculator
– https://submit.apnic.net/cgi-
bin/feecalc.pl
• Transferred space will be
included in future APNIC
membership fees

Measurement -
RIPE Atlas Probe
40

41. What is RIPE Atlas?
• RIPE NCC began development of RIPE Atlas in late 2010
as its next generation active measurement network
• A global network of “probes”
• RIPE NCC hopes to create the world's largest Internet
measurement network
• Measures Internet connectivity and reachability
• Provides an unprecedented understanding of the state of
the Internet in real time
41

42. RIPE Atlas Probes
42
• Small hardware device that runs
measurements in the RIPE Atlas
system
• Reports results to the data collection
components
• TP-Link TL-MR3020 powered from
USB port
• Does not work as a wireless router!

43. Coverage
43

44. Participation and benefits
• Anyone can become a RIPE Atlas probe host
• Major personal and operational benefits:
– See your network from the outside!
– Have at your fingertips ~9,000 external vantage points to do
customized measurements towards the destination of your choice
• Built-in measurement data available to everyone
– Maps, data from public probes, API to download raw data
• Analyses and use cases
