APNIC Update German Valdez Communications Director APTLD Members Meeting 1 - 2 December 2011 Melbourne Australia
Overview • IP addresses Statistics • IPv4 Exhaustion and IPv6 Deployment • Root Servers and eLearning • IGF Participation
What Do the Stats Say? • The Internet in the Asia Pacific region is growing at an accelerated rate, particularly in access networks • APNIC IPv4 requests continue because of network growth to meet the population demand while IPv6 is being deployed
Registry Update • IPv4 exhaustion • Now in stage 3, as of 15 April 2011 • IANA handed out APNIC’s last /8 block, 103/8, on 3 February 2011
IPv4 Exhaustion • In stage 3, as 15 April 2011 • APNIC final block: 103.0.0.0/8 • Each account holder may receive a max. of /22 • From 15 April to 6 November 2011, made 774 delegations to 30 economies
Resource Services • 2010 IPv6 delegations more than tripled • 650 delegations in 2010 • Strong response to “Kickstart IPv6” with over 402 new applications • Members with existing IPv4 allocations or assignments may instantly qualify for an IPv6 block
Growth of IPv6 Routing Table 2011 • Scale • IPv4 growth Jan-11 to Sept-11: 12% • IPv6 growth Jan-11 to Sept-11: 74% • Shape • IPv4: Growth slowing • IPv6: Very high growth rate mid May till early June 2011 • Impact of World IPv6 Day Routing 2011 by Geoff Huston https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/routing-2011 Routing IPv6 in 2011 by Geoff Huston https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/routing-ipv6-in-2011
IPv6 Deployment Status • IPv6 traffic is still in infancy stage • Could be caused by the current technical standard in selecting IP version gives priority to IPv4 • Increasing IPv6 enabled backbone networks • However, many ISPs are not ready to provide IPv6 connectivity to end points yet • Many end users’ devices are getting ready with IPv6 • Need to encourage ISPs and local content providers to enable IPv6 services to their end users
eLearning • Use of WebEX since January 2011 • Three one-hour sessions fortnightly • Focusing on three sub-regions (Oceania/Pacific, South East Asia, South Asia) • Dedicated media room
Regional Initiatives • Regional IGFs • Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) in Hong Kong in 2010 • APrIGF in Singapore in 2011 • Pacific Internet Governance Forum (PIGF) in Noumea in 2011 • Other initiatives • Leaders forum in Beijing • Prospect of AU+NZ
APNIC: From Regional to Global • APNIC at IGF • Financial support to regional initiatives • Partner in APrIGFs and PIGF • Remote hubs • Content, expertise, experiences and speaker
Second Season of Global IGF • From Nairobi onwards… • Keep multi-stakeholder approach • Non-binding decisions • Open and free discussions • Aggregation of the views of the wider community • Attention to regional inputs
Regional Stakeholders • Asia and the Pacific: a lot of interest, but not a lot of resources • Remote participation • New participants, fresh views • Youth forum • Developmental agenda
The Way Forward • APNIC is committed to supporting how to bring a regional voice into the IGF process
