4. Business as usual
• As long as there are IPv4 addresses left, the
RIPE NCC will keep on distributing them, based
on justified need
• Same allocation and assignment policies still
apply (RIPE-509)
• Until the final /8 is reached

5. “Run Out Fairly”
• Gradually reduced allocation and assignment
periods
• Needs for “Entire Period” of up to...
– 12 months (January 2010)
–9 months (July 2010)
–6 months (January 2011)
–3 months (July 2011)
• 50% has to be used up by half-period

6. Final /8 policy
• Each LIR can get one /22 allocation
– 1024 IPv4 addresses
– New and existing members
– As long as supplies will last
• You must meet the criteria for an (additional)
allocation
• Only when you already have IPv6 addresses

7. Transfer of IPv4 allocations
• LIRs can transfer IPv4 address blocks:
– To another LIR
– Only when the block is not in use
– Meets minimum allocation size (/21)
• Requests are evaluated by the RIPE NCC
– Justified need
• Registered in the RIPE Database

8. No changes yet
• Policy will only change when the RIPE NCC’s
final /8 is reached
• Be aware of the shorter assignment period!
• And start deploying IPv6 now!

10. IPv6 RIPEness
• Rating system:
– One star if the member has an IPv6 allocation
– Additional stars if:
- IPv6 Prefix is visible on the internet
- A route6 object is in the RIPE Database
- Reverse DNS is set up
–A list of all 4 star LIRs: http://ripeness.ripe.net/
