2. Overview
Recap
• About APNIC
Reality check: where are we now?
• Transition to IPv6: statistics
• IPv6 deployment edges
• Resource delegations
• Recent policy implementations
Multi-stakeholder approach
• APNIC’s efforts
• Way forward

4. Regional Internet Registries
4
The Internet community established the RIRs to provide
fair and consistent resource distribution and accurate
resource registration throughout the world.
6. APNIC’s Mission
Assist the Asia Pacific community in effective
resource management
• Equitable allocation and registration services
Provide educational opportunities
• 77 courses in 36 locations to over 1870 participants
in 2009
• Fully equipped Training lab (IPv6 supported)
• eLearning web classes twice per month
Coordinate IP addressing policy development.

10. IPv4 Consumption: Projection

2014
Projected IANA exhaustion: January 2011
Projected RIR exhaustion: January 2012

When will your ISP run out of IPv4 addresses?
11. Transition to IPv6
IPv4 address exhaustion inevitable
• January 2011: IANA allocates the last /8
• January 2012: APNIC first RIR to exhaust IPv4
• Even now, some IPv4 address blocks have
reachability concerns,
• IPv6 should be inevitable
• The only solution to IPv4 exhaustion
• Protocol is 10 years old
• Under a new spotlight for at least 18 months
How far have we come?

12. Spotlights on Deployment
• IPv6 Deployment Surveys
• APNIC & EU survey 2009
• IETF 77 in Anaheim, March 2010
• ISOC Panel “IPv6: Are you there yet?”
• Leslie Daigle (ISOC), Geoff Huston (APNIC)
et al

15. Ratio of IPv6 to IPv4 ASes

IPv6:IPv4 ASNs
16. Ratio of IPv6 to IPv4 ASes
16 Measuring IPv6 Deployment by Geoff Huston, APNIC http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/ipv6momentum/
“IPv6 is currently 6.0% of IPv4 in
terms of ASes that announce or
transit IPv6 routes.
“Assuming future exponential
growth of this ratio, IPv6 will be at
80% of the v4 Internet in 2018”
18. Recent Policy Implementations
Proposal Title Overview
Prop-073 Simplifying
allocation/assignment of
IPv6 to APNIC Members
with existing IPv4
addresses
Kickstart IPv6: Available from the public and
MyAPNIC websites as a simple, one-click
application for current IPv4 address holders to obtain
an appropriately sized block of IPv6 addresses.

21. Sometime in 2012…
• ISPs will need addresses for new network
infrastructure
• and will receive only IPv6
• End users will start receiving IPv6 Internet
services
• With or without private IPv4 addresses
• Enterprises and businesses will get IPv6 for
their new networks
• Are you ready?
21
22. ISPs
• Note well: One day soon, you will only get
IPv6 addresses for new deployments…
• Is your infrastructure ready for IPv6?
• Can you deliver IPv6 services in 2012?
• What is your plan for IPv4 services to your
customers? None? Customer NAT? CGN?
• Are your services and systems ready?
• DNS, SMTP, web, mail, etc
• Security, monitoring, customer admin, billing…
23. Enterprises and Content
Providers
One day, your customers and business
partners may only have IPv6 addresses…
• Will your website and services be visible via
IPv6 in 2012?
• Do you have an upgrade plan?
• Does your domain name have AAAA?
• Do all your service providers, integrators
and vendors have their plans in place?
• Have you asked them?
24. Governments
• Do you have procurement criteria
mandating IPv6 capabilities?
• Are your agencies ready with IPv6?
• Are your online and e-government
services ready with IPv6?
• Are your Internet industries up to speed?
25. Others…
• System integrators and consultants
• Can you put all the pieces together?
• Are your people trained to answer questions?
• Can you help your customers with their
planning?
• Academics and educators
• Is your institution ready for IPv6 in 2011?
• Are you producing IPv6-ready graduates?
• Have you upgraded your skills?
27. IPv6 Address Management?
• RIRs will continue providing equitable
services to the Internet community
• A stable and proven structure to manage
Internet resources for the past 20 years
• Address management is not the issue in
IPv6 deployment
• Policies are stable and unrelated to
deployment
• All efforts should go to IPv6 deployment
• In the core and at the edges
