4. ARIN IPv4 Depletion Imminent
• Will not affect your ability to surf the Internet
• But your ISP needs to plan to connect new
customers to the public Internet
5. Your Public-Facing Website
• Will perform better if connected to the
Internet with both an IPv4 &
an IPv6 address
– by adding IPv6 connectivity to
your existing web site
• Your web hosting provider or IT
department may already working this,
but now is the time to confirm
6. Better Performance Over IPv6
• Facebook says it has seen users’ news
feeds loading 20% to 40% faster on
mobile devices using IPv6
9. Your Complete IPv6 Checklist
• Get your IPv6 address space
• Set up IPv6 connectivity (native or tunneled)
• Configure your operating systems, software,
and network management tools
• Upgrade your router, firewall, and other
hardware
• Get your IT staff training
• Enable IPv6 on your website
10. Why move to IPv6 now?
• The public Internet is moving to IPv6
• Costs aren’t as high as you think
– Cost of IPv4 will increase
– Make part of purchasing decisions early
– ROI – performance
• Value in experience working
with IPv6 sooner

11. IPv6 Deployment – US ISPs
• > 20% of US customers connected via
IPv6 up from 10% one year ago today &
growing rapidly
Just as the Internet has revolutionized the way we work, socialize, create and distribute information globally, it has also had a profound impact on how we learn and how campus IT organizations now implement technology programs and networks. The networks needed to run these large-scale campus operations have grown exponentially in recent years and only continue to expand. However, the current Internet addressing scheme known as IPv4 or Internet Protocol Version 4 has run out of room and can’t handle the growth in IP address demand that comes from everything including the institution’s infrastructure and student and teacher cell phones, computers and tablets. In rapidly changing campus environments, campus IT must be able to adapt easily, promote growth and ensure access to the Internet that’s now helping shape our institutions. To remain on the cutting edge today, campus IT organizations must understand how IPv6 factors into their programs, enterprise implementations and the future of the school and how to address it now so that it becomes a part of the technology infrastructure sooner rather than later.
APNIC announced regional IPv4 exhaustion in 2011
The RIPE NCC announced regional IPv4 exhaustion in 2012
LACNIC announced regional IPv4 exhaustion in 2015
ARIN expected to announce regional IPv4 exhaustion in 2015
AFRINIC is the only RIR that has not announced regional IPv4 exhaustion yet
Depletion of the available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address pool for the ARIN region of the globe (Canada, United States, and parts of the Caribbean) is now imminent. This event will not affect your ability to surf the Internet, but your Internet service provider (ISPs) needs to plan appropriately in order to connect additional customers to the public Internet once depletion occurs, and for those ISPs with significant growth needs, this will mean making use of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) to connect new customers
If you have a public-facing web site, it will perform better if it is connected to the Internet with both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address (i.e. this is done by adding IPv6 connectivity to your existing web site.) Your web hosting provider or IT department may already be working on that particular change, but now is the time to confirm such preparations.

Facebook says it has seen users' News Feeds loading 20 percent to 40 percent faster on mobile devices using IPv6 according to Facebook Software Engineer, Paul Saab as reported by Stephen Lawson in Network World: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2909628/the-future-is-here-you-may-already-be-using-ipv6.html
IPv6 deployment by US Internet service providers (broadband to home, mobile is quite respectable, with more than 20% of the US customers connected via IPv6 (up from 10% one year ago today, and growing rapidly: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption)
