The document discusses the importance of IPv6 deployment, highlighting the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and the need for a larger address space to support the growth of the internet and new technologies. It presents statistics on global and regional IPv6 adoption, with specific focus on the capabilities of various countries in Asia. Additionally, it outlines outreach efforts by APNIC to promote IPv6 through training sessions and collaboration with policy makers.

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

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

9. It has to be IPv6!

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
