IPv4 Current State (May 2011) IPv4 Status Locally 3.8 Million IPv4 Addresses 88.68 % Advertised 0.339 IPv4 Address Per Capita (Source: http://resources.potaroo.net/iso3166/v4cc.html ) Biggest IPv4 Allocations /13 block equates to 524,288 IPs /14 block equates to 262,144 IPs /15 block equates to 131,072 IPs /16 block equates to 65,536 IPs
IPv4 Depletion Source: “The IPv4 Address Report” By Geoff Huston http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/ IPv4 Depletion Predictions at IANA and RIRs Feb 2011 RIRs Depletion August 2011 Today IANA Depletion February 2011
Expected RIRs Depletion Source: Geoff Huston,(APNIC) and Mark Townsley(CISCO) There are different estimations, but all indicates that remaining IPv4 block will not stay for long
Adoption of IPv6 in Saudi Arabia • Mid 2007 CITC has started efforts for promoting the adoption of IPv6 in Saudi Arabia. • CITC has launched the IPv6 project as part of the Internet Services Development Plan. • The main objective of the IPv6 Project is to ensure the continuous development of the Internet in the country: • Raise awareness • Promote the deployment of IPv6 in the country • Ensure smooth adaption of IPv6 by stakeholders and minimize risks
Proposed Objectives &Strategy Tracks Strategy Tracks
Saudi Arabia IPv6 Task Force Achievements • 1st IPv6 workshop was held in 2009 with more than 300 attendees. • Nine taskforce meetings were held and sponsored by the taskforce members • The number of the Saudi entities that have IPv6 address space increased from 2 only in 2008 to 20 today. • Some entities have started to provide their services through IPv6, (KACST, Mobily, Sahara and CITC). • IPv6 test lab was built by CITC, and it is available for members. • The Saudi DNS root server (.saccTLD ) is IPv6 support. • Saudi Arabia Tunnel Broker was built by CITC to offer IPv6 connectivity for any internet user in Saudi Arabia. • CITC has conducted three IPv6 Training for entities and individuals. • CITC, MENOG, and RIPE have just organized the IPv4/IPv6 BGP Routing Training.

Awareness • 1st IPv6 workshop was held in 2009 with more than 300 attendees. • This second workshop • Nine taskforce meetings were held and sponsored by the taskforce members. • IPv6 websites • IPv6 training sessions (more to come) • CITC locally developed one day training program • IPv6 Roadshow.
CITC Technical Setup IPv6 Test LAB: • Interested clients (ISP, government institute, enterprise…) can connect to the ipv6 test lab using ipv6 over ipv4 tunnel. • NO dedicated link is needed, just internet connectivity with a static IP address. • Client can then test CITC ipv6 offered services (Web, DNS,…).
CITC Technical Setup IPv6 Tunnel Broker • Offering IPv6 connectivity for internet users in Saudi Arabia. • Working behind NAT. • Free national service. • In-House software. • Source code is available.

Thank You! • CITC is participating in the IPv6 day with 5 sites:
