4. RIPE NCC
• One of 5 Regional Internet Registries
• Supports coordination of Internet operations
• Not for profit membership organisation
• 7000+ members
• Distributes Internet resources to members
• RIPE DB, training, information services, measurements
• RIPE: Bottom-up, self-regulated, open to everyone
• Neutral, Impartial, Open, Transparent

5. Where do all the addresses come from?
IETF
IANA
AfriNIC ARIN RIPE NCC APNIC LACNIC
7000 LIRs
End Users

10. Last /8 address block the of the RIPE NCC
• Last /8 distributed according to RIPE community
policy ripe-509
• Ensures IPv4 access for future members
– 16000+ /22s in a /8
– members can get one /22 only (1000+ addresses)
– must already hold IPv6
– must qualify for allocation
• /16 set aside for unforeseen situations
– if unused, will be distributed

13. Deploy production grade IPv6 now !
• Regional Internet Registries will have to start
turning down requests for IPv4 addresses in 2011
• Networks need to continue growing
• Deploy production grade IPv6 now !
– The time for excuses is over
– The time for experiments is over
Daniel Karrenberg, 8 February 2011 13

14. What does an IPv6 allocation cost?
• /32 = 1 scoring unit
• /31 = 2 scoring units
• points = ∑(2010-1992)x(scoring unit) =18x1+...
Category Points Fee 2010
Extra Small 0 - 16 € 1300
Small - 111 € 1800
Medium - 936 € 2550
Large - 7116 € 4100
Extra Large > 7116 € 5500

• IPv4
– 4,000,000,000
• IPv6
– 300000000000000000000000000000000000000

20. Google’s IPv6 Stats
• Notice the recent acceleration of “native”
• Still too slow
Daniel Karrenberg, 8 February 2011 20

21. Some real world examples
• Deploy production grade IPv6 now !
– The time for excuses is over
– The time for experiments is over
• It can be done !
Daniel Karrenberg, 8 February 2011 21

22. Some real world examples
• heise online
– Major German IT Site
– Operating www.six.heise.de since 2009
– Switched on IPv6 on main site for 24 hours in
September 2010
– Very few problems, decided to keep it switched on!
Daniel Karrenberg, 8 February 2011 22

23. Some real world examples
• xs4all
– Dutch Internet Service Provider (ISP)
– 270,000 customers
– Offering IPv6 as standard to home users
since August 2010
– Only 1.5% of customer base opted in
by November 2010
– “Customers don’t want to spend much effort”
Marco Hogewoning, XS4ALL
Daniel Karrenberg, 8 February 2011 23

24. Some real world examples
• Hetzner
– Major German Hosting Provider
– Offering IPv6 at no additional cost for severs
– Set-up extremely easy
– IPv6 connectivity production grade

26. Deploy production grade IPv6 now !
• Regional Internet Registries will have to
start turning down requests for IPv4
addresses in 2011
• Networks need to continue growing
• Deploy production grade IPv6 now !

27. Join the IPv6 Day on 8 June 2011!
• Major organisations offer all content over IPv6
for a day
– Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai, Limelight NW, etc
• Test drive
• IPv4 not “switched off”
• Want to participate?
