So what?
In this model, IANA allocates its lastIPv4 /8 to an RIR on the 22nd April 2010
This is the model’s predicted exhaustion date as ofthe 6th August 2007. Tomorrow’s prediction will bedifferent!

IPv4 Consumption Prediction Assumptions
Tomorrow is a lot like today Trends visible in the recent past continue into the future
This model assumes that there will be no panic, nochange in policies, no change in the underlyingdemand dynamics, no disruptive externalities, norationing, and no withholding or hoarding!
No, really!
![Page 15: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What then?
Some possible scenarios: Persist in IPv4 networks using more NATs Address markets emerging for IPv4 Routing fragmentation IPv6 transition
![Page 16: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IPv4 NATs Today
Today NATS are largely externalizedcosts for ISPs Customers buy and operate NATS Applications are tuned to single-level NAT
traversal ISPs use DHCP to manage dynamic
allocation of public IPv4 addresses tocustomer edges
Static public addresses typically attract atariff premium
![Page 17: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The “More NATs” Option
Demand for increasing NAT “intensity” Shift ISP infrastructure to private address
realms Multi-level NAT deployments both at the
customer edge and within the ISP network This poses issues in terms of application
discovery and adaptation to NAT behaviours
End cost for static public addresses mayincrease
![Page 18: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
NAT Futures NATs represent just more of the same
NATs are already extensively deployed today More intense use of NATs does not alter the
network’s current architectural model
How far can NATs scale? Not well known What are the critical resources here?
Private address pools NAT binding capacity Private address pool sizes Application complexity
![Page 19: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NAT Futures Do we need to go further with NATs?
Expand Private address pool via Class E space forprivate use ?
NAT + DNS ALG to allow bi-directional NATbehaviours ?
Explicit application access to NAT bindingfunctions ?
In the escalating complexity curve, whendoes IPv6 get to look like a long termcheaper outcome?
![Page 20: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Other Option
Transition to IPv6
But IPv6 is not backward compatible withIPv4 on the wire
So the plan is that we need to run someform of a “dual stack” transition process
Either dual stack in the host, or dual stack viaprotocol translating proxies
![Page 21: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dual Stack Transition to IPv6
“Initial” Dual Stack deployment:Dual stack networks with V6 / V4 connectivityDual Stack hosts attempt V6 connection, and use V4 as afallback
![Page 22: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dual Stack Transition
“Intermediate” Older V4 only networks are retro-fitted with dual stack V6
support
![Page 23: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dual Stack Transition
“Completion” V4 shutdown occurs in a number of networks Connectivity with the residual V4 islands via DNS ALG +
NAT-Protocol Translation Outside the residual legacy deployments the network is
single protocol V6
![Page 24: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dual Stack Assumptions That we could drive the entire transition to
IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4addresses to sustain the entire network andits growth
Transition would take some (optimistically)small number of years to complete
Transition would be driven by individual localdecisions to deploy dual stack support
The entire transition would complete beforethe IPv4 unallocated pool was exhausted
![Page 25: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We had a plan …

Size of the Internet
IPv6 Transition using Dual Stack
Time
![Page 26: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Oops!
We were meant to have completed thetransition to IPv6 BEFORE wecompletely exhausted the supplychannels of IPv4 addresses
![Page 27: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Implications Whether its just IPv4 NATs OR transition to IPv6 …
IPv4 addresses will continue to be in demand beyond thedate of exhaustion of the unallocated pool
In the transition environment, all new and expanding networkdeployments will need IPv4 service access and addresses for aslong as we are in this dual track transition
But the process is no longer directly managed throughaddress allocation policies
that IPv4 address pool in the sky will run out! the mechanisms of management of the IPv4 address
distribution and registration function will necessarily change
![Page 29: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Making IPv4 Last Longer
Some ideas so far: Encourage NAT deployment Larger Private Use Address Pool Policies of rationing the remaining IPv4 space Undertake efforts of IPv4 Reclamation Deregulate Address Transfers Actively Support Address Markets
and/or Encourage an accelerated IPv6 Transition process
![Page 30: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Making IPv4 Last Longer
For how long? For what total address demand? For what level of fairness of access? At what cost? For whom? To what end?
![Page 31: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What should we preserve?
The functionality and integrity of theInternet as a service platform Functionality of applications Viability of routing Capability to sustain continued growth Integrity of the network infrastructure
![Page 32: IPv4 Unallocated Address Space Exhaustionarchive.apnic.net/.../huston-ipv4-exhaustion.pdf · IPv6 while there were still ample IPv4 addresses to sustain the entire network and its](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040413/5f0cd7d17e708231d43767be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What could be useful rightnow Clear and coherent information about the situation
and current choices Understanding of the implications of various options Appreciation of our limitations and strengths as a
global deregulated industry attempting to preserve asingle coherent networked outcome
Understanding of the larger audience and thebroader context in which these processes are playingout
Some pragmatic workable approaches that allow asuitable degree of choice for players

Implications
It is likely that there will be somedisruptive aspects of this transition thatwill impact the entire industry
This will probably not be seamless norcostless
