Miwa Fujii,

Senior IPv6 Program Specialist, APNIC

Overview

• Brief introduction of the APNIC IPv6 Program– Activities in 2009

• IANA’s Final 10% Project– Outcome report

• Working together with the domain name registries and registrars– Future collaboration

APNIC IPv6 Program• APNIC’s new initiative to support IPv6 adoption

– Established in Aug 2008• Focused on multi-stakeholder approach

– Developed new communication materials– Proactively networked to establish new communication

channels with Internet organizations (60+) and individuals• To create an effective foundation for the IANA 10% campaign• New collaborative relationships were established:

– ISOC-AU– ISOC-TW– ICANN at Large– IP Mirror– .auDA

– Obtained support in circulating the IANA 10% message– Reached out to governmental organizations

• OECD• APEC TEL

IPv4 Address Global Distribution

As of 11/02/2010

Remaining at IANA 22 x /8 Remaining at IANA 8.6%

IPv4 Address Global Distribution

As of 11/02/2010

Remaining at IANA 22 x /8 Remaining at IANA 8.6%

22 x /8 remain:

APNIC was allocated 2 x /8 on 19/01/2010

ARIN was allocated 2 x /8 on 11/02/2010

IANA’s remaining IPv4 address pool is now below 8.6%

IPv4 Consumption – Projections

Projected IANA Unallocated Address Pool Exhaustion: 16-Sept-2011Projected RIR Unallocated Address Pool Exhaustion 04-10-2012

2010 will be a crucial year for IPv6 adoption

Growth of the Internet

232 million websites as of April 2009 (Netcraft)

IPv6 Readiness at ccTLDs

• 133 ccTLDs root servers out of 150 have IPv6 address resolution function (~86%) – Statistics provided by National Centre for

High-Performance Computing in Taiwan, as of July 2009

– Good news!

• IPv6 readiness of direct customers of TLDs and registrars?

IPv6 Readiness of Direct Customers of TLDs

We can assume:

Direct customers of TLDs and registrants are not yet IPv6 ready.

How can you/we help them to make a smooth transition to IPv6?

What kinds of messages do they need?

IPv6 Readiness of Registrars• People and organizations connecting to the

Internet after late 2012:– Will find difficulty in obtaining IPv4 global

addresses:• It could be more expensive• It may require more complicated technical adjustments to

penetrate multiple NATs• IDNs and new TLDs will push for more IPv4 addresses

• They may choose an option to use IPv6 only websites

• Are registrars ready for such challenges?– How can you/we support them in transitioning to

IPv6?

IPv6 and Domain Registration

Customers will choose Registrars

Customers will move to IPv6-Ready Services

APNIC’s Plan:• Reach out to content providers including

enterprises– i.e., customers of TLDs and registrants

• Our message will be:– IPv6 is a reality and a business continuity issue

• Your web, mail and other servers need to be ready with IPv6

– Simple process• Easy access to IPv6 with APNIC• Like IPv4 Multihoming, enterprises need IPv6

Multihoming as well

IPv6 Kickstart

IPv6 Kickstart

86 IPv6 delegations were made since 10/02/2010

IPv6 address delegation will

increase in the future

This will impact your customers’ demand for IPv6-ready domain names

Working with ccTLDs• Encourage registrars to prepare their

services for IPv6– What kind of information will be helpful for

registrars?• What kind of information will be helpful for customers of registrars?– Will also help direct customers of TLDs

• How can we reach out to them systematically?– APNIC has limited resources

• We appreciate your input!

Thank You!
