Out of IPv4! What that means for ISPs
0 likes338 views
The document reviews the depletion of IPv4 address space as of September 2015, outlining key milestones in IPv4 requests leading up to the depletion and the implications for ISPs. It discusses the strong ongoing demand for IPv4, introduces options post-depletion including a waiting list and transfers, and emphasizes the importance of IPv6 adoption. Additionally, it provides guidance for both small and larger networks on how to transition to IPv6 and the procedures for policy development within ARIN.
Out of IPv4! What that means for ISPs

- 3. IPv4 Depletion Recap • June 2015: IPv4 requests reach peak volume – 414 total requests – A mad rush for the last IPv4 blocks • July 1st, 2015: First unmet IPv4 request – An org qualified for a block size that was no longer available – Within a few weeks, only single /24s remained in the free pool • September 24th, 2015: Full IPv4 depletion – No IPv4 blocks available other than those reserved for specific policies – Significant drop in monthly # of IPv4 requests 3

- 7. Reserved IPv4 Space • /10 reserved to facilitate IPv6 deployment • 2 /16s reserved for critical Internet infrastructure – Public exchange points – Core DNS service providers (excluding new gTLDs) – Regional Internet Registries – IANA 7
- 8. Post-IPv4 Depletion Observations • IPv4 demand remains strong • Lots of questions from customers – Not all aware we’ve reach full IPv4 depletion – Education needed on post-depletion options • Keeping registration info current is essential – Increase in # of blocks targeted for hijacking – Blocks with bad org/contact info, especially legacy ones, are the biggest target 8
- 9. Post-IPv4 Depletion Options • IPv4 Waiting List • IPv4 Transfers • Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 deployment • IPv6 Adoption 9
- 10. IPv4 Waiting List • Policy enacted first time ARIN did not have a contiguous block of addresses of sufficient size to fulfill a qualified request – Must qualify under current ARIN policy and request to be added to the list – Maximum approved size determined by ARIN – Minimum acceptable size specified by requester – One request per org on the list at a time – Limit of one allocation or assignment every 3 months • Waiting List published on ARIN’s web site – Approximately /12 needed to fill all pending requests https://www.arin.net/resources/request/waiting_list.html 10

- 12. Transfers of IPv4 Addresses 3 ARIN Transfer Policies Available: – Mergers and Acquisitions (NRPM 8.2) • Traditional transfer resulting from a merger, acquisition, or reorganization supported by legal documentation – Transfers to Specified Recipients (NRPM 8.3) • IPv4 transfer from one organization to another that it specifies, supported by justified need (within region) – Inter-RIR transfers to Specified Recipients (NRPM 8.4) • IPv4 market transfer from one organization to another that it specifies, supported by justified need (between regions) 12

- 14. Reserved IPv4 Block for IPv6 Deployment Requirements • Used to facilitate IPv6 deployment • Need cannot be met from your existing ARIN IPv4 space • Have an IPv6 block registered • One /24 per organization every six months 14
- 15. Help! What Should I Do? • Small networks can get a /24 once per six months for IPv6 transition – Cost likely to be lower than the transfer market – Reserved block likely to last several years – Can also have a request on the waiting list • Larger networks can get pre-approved for 24 month need and seek IPv4 on the transfer market – Waiting list probably not a realistic option unless you can delay your IPv4 needs indefinitely • All networks should begin IPv6 adoption 15

- 21. ARIN’s Policy Development Process (PDP) 1) Proposal – Someone in the community thinks a policy can be improved and documents 2) Draft Policy- Discussion on the list and possibly at meeting(s) - Is there really a problem? Is this a good solution? 3) Recommended Draft Policy - More discussion and presentation at meeting(s). Does community support turning this into policy? 4) Last call 5) Board Review 6) Staff Implementation (NRPM) If you submit a proposal, you can participate further, or let the ARIN process “shepherd” it through the steps 21
- 22. How Can You Get Involved in the PDP? Two ways to learn and be heard 1. Public Policy Mailing List - open 2. Public Policy Consultations/Meetings - open • ARIN meetings (April and October) • ARIN Public Policy Consultations at NANOG • Remote participation supported 22
