- APNIC provides updates on IPv6 and IPv4 address delegations, transfers, and policies. IPv6 adoption is growing while the IPv4 free pool is depleting. - APNIC supports IPv4 and IPv6 transfers between regions and a broker service for market transfers. Training and conferences aim to spread knowledge of IP technologies. - APNIC Labs measures IPv6 deployment across networks and economies to track global readiness. Upcoming events include APNIC 36 in China and APRICOT 2014 in Thailand.

• Pre-approval service, with opt-in anonymous listing
• Broker listing; four registered so far
www.apnic.net/transfer-brokers
• Mailing list to enable the source and recipients of IPv4 address
transfers and IPv4 brokers to discuss topics relevant to transfers
apnic-transfers@apnic.net
• Public transfer log
ftp://ftp.apnic.net/public/transfers/apnic
• Transfer fees applied
– 20% of the transferred block’s annual fee (other holdings not included in
the calculation)

5. Inter-RIR Transfers
• Completed transfers: eight from ARIN to APNIC (Nov 2012
– April 2013)
• Transfer time (including evaluation): one – two weeks
• Successfully transferred live network
– ARIN-managed resources transferred into the AP region, to be
managed by APNIC
• ARIN and APNIC stats overlap one day after the transfer
due to the time zone difference
