IPv4 exhaustion phases

3

time

IANA pool exhausted

IPv4 still available. RIPE NCC continues

normal operation

Each of the 5 RIRs received

a /8

RIPE NCC reaches final /8

Final /8 policy triggered

RIPE NCC pool

exhausted

RIPE NCC can only distribute IPv6

now


Business as usual

• As long as there are IPv4 addresses left, the RIPE NCC will keep on distributing them, based on justified need

• Same allocation and assignment policies still apply (RIPE-509)

• Until the final /8 is reached

4


“Run Out Fairly”

• Gradually reduced allocation and assignment periods

• Needs for “Entire Period” of up to... – 12 months (January 2010)

– 9 months (July 2010)

– 6 months (January 2011)– 3 months (July 2011)

• 50% has to be used up by half-period

5


Final /8 policy

• Each LIR can get one /22 allocation– 1024 IPv4 addresses

– New and existing members

– As long as supplies will last

• You must meet the criteria for an (additional) allocation

• Only when you already have IPv6 addresses

6


Transfer of IPv4 allocations

• LIRs can transfer IPv4 address blocks:– To another LIR

– Only when the block is not in use

– Meets minimum allocation size (/21)

• Requests are evaluated by the RIPE NCC– Justified need

• Registered in the RIPE Database

7


No changes yet

• Policy will only change when the RIPE NCC’s final /8 is reached

• Be aware of the shorter assignment period!

• And start deploying IPv6 now!

IPv6 statistics


IPv6 RIPEness

10

• Rating system:– One star if the member has an IPv6 allocation

– Additional stars if:

- IPv6 Prefix is visible on the internet

- A route6 object is in the RIPE Database

- Reverse DNS is set up

– A list of all 4 star LIRs: http://ripeness.ripe.net/
