30 million IPv4 addresses left…

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

“Things”

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
