7. Reaching the Next Billion
• Around 1.9 billion Internet users now
- five times as many as there were in the year 2000
- around 29% of all people
• Mobile phones are becoming Internet devices
• The Internet of things

9. IPv6 Address Basics
• IPv6 address: 128 bits
- 32 bits in IPv4
• Every subnet should be a /64
• Customer assignments (sites) between:
- /64 (1 subnet)
- /48 (65,536 subnets)
• Minimum allocation size /32
- 65,536 /48s
- 16,777,216 /56s

10. Getting an IPv6 Allocation
• To qualify, an organisation must:
- Be an LIR
- Have a plan for making assignments
• Minimum allocation size /32
10

11. What Does an IPv6 Allocation Cost?
• /32 = 1 scoring unit
• /31 = 2 scoring units
• points = ∑(2010-1992)x(scoring unit) =18x1+...

12. IPv6 RIPEness
12
• Rating system:
- One star if the LIR has an IPv6 allocation
- Additional stars if:
- IPv6 Prefix is announced on router
- A route6 object is in the RIPE Database
- Reverse DNS is set up

17. What We Know
• RIRs have been consistently allocating around
10 /8s each year worldwide
• There were 12 /8s remaining at the IANA as of
18 October 2010 (less than 5%)
• Projected exhaustion of unallocated IPv4 pool:
April 2011
17

18. What We Are Doing
• Raise awareness of the problem
- Different roles for different sectors
- Industry, government, civil society, technical
community
• Education
- Technical knowledge for stakeholders that need it
• Ensure IPv6 is accessible to all
• Engage with ALL stakeholders
18

19. • Policy forum
- Not a legal entity
- No official membership
- Open to everyone
• No voting
- Consensus decision making
• Work happens at meetings and on mailing lists:
- Working Groups
- Task forces
19
RIPE Community

20. RIPE Policy Development Process
• Open
- Anyone can participate
- Policy meetings
- Mailing lists
• Transparent
- List discussions archived publicly
- Meetings transcribed
• Developed bottom-up
- By the Internet community
- “Self-regulation” model
