IP Addressing Trends

IPv4 in 2024
• IPv4 scarcity pressure continues to fall across 2024:
– Signs of market saturation in many mature Internet markets
– More IPv6-accessible service deployments relieving IPv4 NAT
pressures for ISPs
– Stable market prices for IPv4 addresses
– Lower pressure to release unadvertised addresses through the
transfer market

APNIC Honeynet
• 410 honeypot sensors detect attacks (500 by end of 2025)
• October 2024 – March 2025: Based on number of IP addresses
interacted with our honeypot sensors, ranking the top 3:
• India 42%
• China 26%
• Taiwan (7%)
• Members – use DASH (Dashboard for Autonomous System Health)
to see if any of your IP addresses have hit our honeypots,
• Access the alerts related to their ASNs via DASH
(dash.apnic.net).
• Security remains a key topic for community discussion
