2. Outline
• IPv6: importance
• IPv6 trends, challenges and opportunities
• Global and regional IPv6 adoption
• IPv6 outreach by APNIC

3. http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/
30 million IPv4 addresses left…

4. Why IPv6 ?
• IPv4 address supply is exhausted
– New networks require addresses
– Stop-gap measures are damaging (NAT)
• The Internet is growing fast
– Broadband: mobile and wifi
– Internet of Things
• IPv6 is the only viable option we have now
– Much larger address space than IPv4
– Enable sustainable growth of the Internet
– Support the emergence of new technologies

5. IPv6 340 TTT addresses
e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

9. It has to be IPv6!

“Things”

10. But I still need IPv4?
• Last /8 Policy
– /22 available to each organisation
– Just once
• Recovered IPv4 pool
– /22 available to each organisation
– Join the wait list!
• IPv4 Transfers
– Available for transfers between consenting parties
– Financial transaction is not APNIC’s business ($4 to $40 per address?)
– Brokers are available to “assist”
– See www.apnic.net/transfer
