From IPv6 Day to IPv6 Everyday

Quite a number of articles and blogs including one I contributed [PDF] had IPv6 haruspices dissect the entrails and divine the future of the internet in the wake of the june 8th IPv6 World Day. It came and went with some trepidation, the internet did not go comatose and some marveled at and reported on traffic peaks they witnessed.

Preparation of a keynote [PDF] for the Gogonet Live conference in San Jose, provided me the opportunity to have a look at how some variables evolved since June including the brokenness issue, the penetration speed of mobile broadband and its retinue of smart phones and tablets as well as the seemingly insurmountable obstacle of older CPE equipment. A glimpse at the evolution of IPv6 traffic over the intervening semester, at least from the perspective of a global tier-1 wholesale network such as AS6453, would give some quantitative underpinning.

IPv4 is running out of time

The Middle East is set to run out of IPv4 addresses in the first half of 2012, according to Axel Pawlik, managing director of RIPE NCC, one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) providing internet resource allocations, registration services and coordination activities for the internet on a global basis.

IPv4 addresses are numeric addresses that identify a computer and allow it to connect to the internet.

When the computer engineers in the late Seventies started connecting computers to each other, they invented a protocol, and at some point you have to make a design decision of how many numbers are feasible and how long these numbers should be. They decided it should be 32 bits. They thought that that should be plenty of addresses for the next 100 years or so. Now the internet has taken up a big slice of our daily lives. In the late 80s and early 90s we realised that there was going to be an issue because there were too many computers hooked up to the internet and we were about to run out of address blocks, Pawlik told ITP.net.
