Making ends meet: IPv4 exhaustion and the transfer market @ APRICOT 2016

The depletion of ARIN’s IPv4 supply in 2015 means that four out of five RIRs have reached IPv4 exhaustion. While the global shift to IPv6 continues to gather pace, many network operators still require IPv4 addresses to manage network growth during the transition phase. As a result, activity in the IPv4 transfer market is steadily growing.

How does the transfer market work? What are the implications for network operators? Could this impact the integrity of the global routing table? In this interactive session, a panel of global experts drawn from RIRs, ICANN and address brokers will discuss the implications of IPv4 exhaustion and the transfer market, provide research insights, and offer advice for network operators wishing to make a transfer.

Alain Durand (ICANN) – IPv4 Transfer Analytic View
