Let’s see the current situation
IPv4 is REALLY running out !
• By 2011, APNIC, RIPE, and
LACNIC had exhausted their
available pool of IPv4 addresses
• On 24 September 2015, ARIN had
run out of available IPv4 addresses
4. Why still use IPv4
You can still get a limited amount of IPv4 from the RIRs and IANA’s
recovered pool.
There are some technical challenges and non-technical reasons:
• Older networking devices are the most likely to need replacing
• There is a high cost of migrating a large and complex existing network,
applications, and database system
• We have been running IPv4 for 40 years, and we have something that
works - “if it isn't broken, why fix it?”
• Common myths: “Nobody is using IPv6” and “None of our customers are
asking for this”
5. Why use IPv6
5
IPv6 is intended to supplement and eventually replace IPv4, the protocol most
Internet services use today. IPv6 was recognized and reported on by Frank
Solensky to the IETF in August 1990.
Compared with IPv4 which only has 4,294,967,296 IP addresses, IPv6 can
theoretically hold 2^128 IP addresses, which is HUGE:
2^128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
We can say it as: 340 undecillion, 282 decillion, 366 nonillion, 920 octillion,
938 septillion, 463 sextillion, 463 quintillion, 374 quadrillion, 607 trillion,
431 billion, 768 million, 211 thousand and 456 J
7. IPv6 deployment is increasing!

• More than 9 million domain names and 23% of all networks are advertising
IPv6
• Google report: 37 economies are exceeding 5% traffic, with new economies
being added weekly
• Akamai report: There are 7 economies with IPv6 traffic over 15%
• In Japan, NTT, KDDI, and Softbank are deploying IPv6 in 2017
• In India, Reliance Jio’s deployment has increased IPv6 traffic in India to over
20%
• The IPv4 Market Group comments that it expects IPv6 users to exceed 50%
worldwide in 2019, and with that, the start of the decline of the IPv4 address
market
• IPv6 has been a “future” since 1998, and an important future since 2007 - it is
now becoming a present-day reality

13. IPv6@APNIC
• APNIC policies for IPv6 resources delegation:
– prop-121: Updating "Initial IPv6 allocation" policy to allow a larger
requirement than the standard /32 for a large network
– prop-122: Updating “Subsequent IPv6 allocation” policy to allow larger
subsequent allocation, which doubles the current resource delegation
• IPv6 Kick-start for new APNIC Members
• One-click IPv6 for existing APNIC Members who have IPv4
addresses (free of charge)
• IPv6 workshops and training (free online training is available)
• Technical Assistance services
14. IETF
The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), the body that defines
standard Internet operating protocols such as TCP/IP, has made an
important step forward by stating that IPv6 support is no longer
optional in an IP- or Internet-capable device
As envisioned by IETF RFC6540:
“IPv6 Support Required for IP Capable Nodes: all devices
that claim to be IP-capable or Internet-capable must
support IPv6 and may optionally support IPv4.”
15. IETF RFC6540
• New IP implementations must support IPv6
• Updates to current IP implementations should support IPv6
• IPv6 support must be equivalent or better in quality and
functionality when compared to IPv4 support in a new or updated
IP implementation
• New and updated IP networking implementations should support
IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence (dual-stack), but must not require
IPv4 for proper and complete functions
• Implementers are encouraged to update existing hardware and
software to enable IPv6 wherever technically feasible
16. IPv6 transition stories
• Today's Internet developed as a result of progressive
deregulation of the telecommunication environment
• Network operators fiercely compete in the market economy, while
cooperating to overcome common technical challenges by
sharing knowledge, experience, and establishing best current
practices to reference in daily operations
• The success of global IPv6 deployment also depends on sharing
knowledge and experiences
• APNIC encourages operators to share their stories to help their
peers around the world
17. IPv6 transition stories
• ISPs:
– Enabling IPv6 on FTTH and Chubu Telecommunications (JP),
Aug 2013
– KDDI (JP), IPv6 deployment
– IPv6 experience at Internode (AU)
• Mobile network operators:
– IPv6 at T-Mobile USA LTE Asia, 2013
– IPv6 on LTE at Verizon Wireless (US), 2010
• Content Providers: Facebook and Yahoo
18. IPv6 transition stories
• KDDI - Firmware update with IPv6 on home gateway
equipment
• T-Mobile has IPv6 on GSM/UMTS/LTE optionally
and will soon provide IPv6 services by default
• Verizon Wireless launched LTE in late 2010 and is
currently the largest IPv6 network globally
