Hello all, I have been out of the IP field for a few years so forgive me if my question is about old news, but here it is: Is the decrease in the percentage of used IPv4 space in the United States of America due to other countries increasing their usage and/or the return of unused IPv4 space in the United States of America? Just looking at upcoming usage statistics globally.

2006 IPv4 Address Use Report
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

2006 was another busy year for the five Regional Internet Registries: together, they gave out 161.48 million IPv4 addresses, just shy of the 165.45 million given out in 2005 as measured on january first 2006. The current (jan 1st, 2007) figure for 2005 is 175.52 million addresses. Together with adjustments for earlier years, this brings the total addresses available to almost exactly 1.3 billion, down from 1468.61 million a year ago. This is out of 3706.65 million usable IPv4 addresses, so 2407.11 million addresses are currently given out to either end-users or Internet Service Providers. Breakdown by Regional Internet Registry over the past few years as seen on 2007-01-01: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 AfriNIC 0.56 0.39 0.26 0.22 0.51 1.03 2.72 APNIC 20.94 28.83 27.03 33.05 42.89 53.86 51.78 ARIN 30.83 28.55 21.08 22.32 34.26 47.57 38.94 LACNIC 0.88 1.61 0.65 2.62 3.77 10.97 11.50 RIPE NCC 24.79 25.36 19.84 29.61 47.49 62.09 56.53 Total 78.00 84.73 68.87 87.82 128.92 175.52 161.48 Compare this to the totals as seen on 2006-01-01: Total 78.35 88.95 68.93 87.77 128.45 165.45 (See last year's report for more details at http://www.bgpexpert.com/ addrspace2005.php ) The main reason for the discrepancy is that the RIRs publish on their respective FTP servers lists of which address block was given out when. When a block of address space is given back by the holder, it's removed from the list. This is the reason why the numbers for earlier years keep going down. The 10 million extra addresses in 2005 and 4 million in 2001 are the responsibility of ARIN, which went from 36.30 million addresses for 2005 in their 2006-01-01 records to 47.56 in their 2007-01-01 records. The reason for the retroactive growth is unknown. AfriNIC gives out address space in Africa, APNIC in the Asia-Pacific region, ARIN in North America, LACNIC in Latin American and the Caribbean and the RIPE NCC in Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA, part of ICANN) keeps an overview of the IPv4 address space at http://www.iana.org/ assignments/ipv4-address-space. The list consists of 256 blocks of 16.78 million addresses. Breakdown: Delegated to Blocks +/- 2006 Addresses (millions) AfriNIC 1 16.78 APNIC 19 +3 318.77 ARIN 27 +4 452.98 LACNIC 4 67.11 RIPE NCC 22 +3 369.10 Various 50 838.86 End-user 43 721.42 Available 55 -10 922.74 Of the 2063.60 million addresses delegated to the five Regional Internet Registries, 1685.69 million have been delegated to end-users or ISPs by the RIRs, and 377.91 million are still available, which is almost identical to last year's 378.09 number. Along with the 922.74 million addresses still available in the IANA global pool this makes the total number of available addresses 1300.65 million, down 167.96 million from a year earlier. The size of address blocks given has been increasing steadily. The table below shows the number of requests for a certain range of block sizes (equal or higher than the first, lower than the second value). (2005 and earlier values from 2006-01-01 data, 2006 values from 2007-01-01 data.) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 < 1000 326 474 547 745 1022 1309 1526 1000 - 8000 652 1176 897 1009 1516 1891 2338 8000 - 64k 1440 868 822 1014 1100 1039 1133 64k - 500k 354 262 163 215 404 309 409 500k - 2M 19 39 29 46 61 60 56 > 2M 3 5 5 6 7 18 13 The number of blocks in the two smallest categories have increased rapidly, but not as fast as the number of blocks in the largest category, in relative numbers at least. However, the increase in large blocks has a very dramatic effect while the small blocks are insignificant, when looking at the millions of addresses involved: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 < 1000 0.10 0.16 0.18 0.25 0.35 0.44 0.52 1000 - 8000 2.42 4.47 3.23 3.45 4.49 5.07 6.10 8000 - 64k 18.79 12.81 11.35 14.00 15.99 15.46 17.17 64k - 500k 35.98 32.19 20.28 25.51 42.01 34.23 49.64 500k - 2M 12.68 24.64 21.30 31.98 44.63 41.63 46.64 > 2M 8.39 14.68 12.58 12.58 20.97 68.62 41.42 The increase in the 2M+ blocks was solely responsible for the high number of addresses given out in 2005. In 2006, there was growth in all categories except the 2M+ one (even the 500k - 2M category increased in number of addresses if not in number of blocks). When the 2M+ blocks are taken out of the equation, 2005 had a total of 96.83 million addresses (2006-01-01) and 2006 119.06 million given out.

New IPv6 block allocated to RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2a00::/12 from the IANA in October 2006. This allocation expands two previous allocations. We will begin allocating from this new space in the near future. The minimum allocation size for this /12 has been set at /32. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Comercial IPv6 availability in the Nordics
by Hans Petter Holen 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

This spring I renegotiated our corporate VPN and Internet agreements. In the request for interest/proposals I among other things asked for IPv6 availability. Since I the company I work for, Visma, has offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland there was not that many ISPs to ask. >From the 4 that was able to offer service in all the Nordic countries only one of them answered Yes - but added "not for production - we do not offer any SLA on this service yet." -hph (and yes - I did choose the provider that said they could offer IPv6 - but for other reasons like price and SLA conditions)

Multihoming in IPv6 using PA space
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

[Going out to routing-wg and ipv6-wg, trim as needed in follow-ups] Before the last IETF meeting there was some discussion about the difficulties in multihoming using a prefix out of PA space from an ISP in IPv6. Because many ISPs filter at /32 or /35 in IPv6, the /48s (or /56s) used for multihoming are often filtered out. After some discussion with people from the IETF v6ops wg, I've written the draft mentioned below, outlining the problem and proposing a BGP community to tag the prefixes used for this so they can be un-filtered as needed. Feedback from people involved with and/or an interest in IPv6 routing is highly appreciated. I'd be happy to discuss the draft in either the routing or IPv6 wgs, or talk about it briefly at the end of my IPv6 routing tutorial on wednesday morning. And of course one-on-one in the hallway. The -01 with only minor changes should be up soon, or you can find it at http://www.muada.com/drafts/draft-van-beijnum-v6ops-pa-mhome- community-01.txt Begin forwarded message: > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > Title : BGP Community for PA Multihoming > Author(s) : I. van Beijnum > Filename : draft-van-beijnum-v6ops-pa-mhome-community-00.txt > Pages : 8 > Date : 2006-9-11 > When an organization wants to connect to the internet using two or > more > Internet Service Providers (multihoming), this is usually done by > setting up BGP routing between the organization in question and > each of > its ISPs.

Call for agenda topics & draft agenda (v1) for ipv6 wg RIPE53
by David Kessens 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

During next RIPE meeting, our working group is scheduled to meet: Wed Oct 4, 17:00-18:00, Grand Ballroom, Krasnapolsky Hotel, Amsterdam I have prepared a draft agenda with all our standard items. However, the meeting will only be a success if we get a lot of active participation from all participants. In fact there is little reason to have a working group meeting scheduled if we don't get other topics than the standard topics. Is there anything that you have been thinking about regarding the deployment of ipv6 in the european region ? It doesn't matter whether it is a brief topic, whether you have slides or simply would like to ask me to find a speaker. Just send me a quick mail! One thing that I personally was thinking about is the expiration of the 6bone address space. Is there anybody who is willing to give us an overview on what happened, and whether there were any positive or negative effects ? Or anybody knows what the vatican is planning to do with their address space ? Thanks!

IPv6 Benchmarking - Sept'2006
by Carlos Friacas 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hello, You can fill in (yet another) survey about IPv6 at: http://surveys.ipv6.eu This survey is part of the European IPv6 Task-Force Steering Commitee's Benchmarking Activity, in the scope of project IST-2-004572-CA, partly funded by the EC. Your cooperation is needed and very welcome! Please also help this message reach the mailboxes of people on your communities, even to those folks which are still far from using IPv6, but who can spare 10 mins to fill this form. This survey is focused on metrics we cannot have input without direct intervention from humans. The outcome of it, plus the data we periodically collect automatically (from several sources) will be worked/aggregated and published on http://www.ipv6.eu Stay tuned! ps: sorry for any duplicate messages.
