What is an IP address?

• Internet infrastructure address– Globally unique*

• A finite common resource– IPv4: 32-bit number

• e.g. 192.131.13.3• 4 billion addresses available

– IPv6: 128-bit number• e.g. 3ffe:1a00:ff00::• Potentially*, equal to (IPv4)4

• IP does not mean “Intellectual Property”

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4: 32 bits

• 232 addresses = 4,294,967,296 addresses

= 4 billion addresses

IPv6: 128 bits

• 2128 addresses? = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,770,000,000

= 340 billion billion billion billion addresses?

• No, due to IPv6 address structure…

128 bits

How much IPv6?

Topological Interface

/0 /64 /128

Infrastructure Site

/0 /64/48

• 248 site addresses = 281,474,976,710,656

= 281 thousand billion site addresses

• 264 “subnet” addresses = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616

= 18 billion billion subnet addresses

How are IP Addresses managed?

and how did we get here?

24 March 2003 RIR Meeting with the ICANN GAC Rio de Janeiro

1981 - 1992

1981: RFC 790

1987: RFC 1020

1992: RFC 1366

RFC 12611991

“The assignment of numbers is also handled by Jon. If you are developing a protocol or application that will require the use of a link, socket, port, protocol, or network number please contact Jon to receive a number assignment.”

What are RIRs?

• Representative of ISPs globally– Industry self-regulatory structures– Non-profit, open membership bodies

• First established in early 1990’s– In response to call from IETF (RFC1366)– To satisfy emerging technical/admin needs– Voluntarily by consensus of community

• In the “Internet Tradition”– Consensus-based, open and transparent

18

What do RIRs do?

• Internet resource management– Primarily, IP addresses – IPv4 and IPv6– Registration services (“whois”)

• Policy development and coordination– Open Policy Meetings and processes

• Training, outreach and liaison– Training courses, seminars, conferences…– Liaison: IETF, ICANN, ITU, APT, PITA, APEC…– Newsletters, reports, web sites…

• Projects– Various operational services and support

• RIR collaboration– Represented by the NRO

IPv6 – Summary

• The good news…– IPv6 is available– IPv6 addresses are very easy to get

• The bad news…– Complexity: significant cost and learning curve– Demand? Do users want it?– “Chicken and Egg” syndrome

• The reality: A long, hard, transition– “Changing engines mid-flight”– Long process – 10+ years to complete– Critical message: Start now!
