Post IPv4 Depletion
• On 14 September 2012, the RIPE NCC began to
allocate IPv4 address space from the last /8 of IPv4
address space it holds.
• RIPE NCC members can request a one time /22
allocation (1,024 IPv4 addresses).

Internet Number Resources
There are two types of IP addresses in active use:
IP version 4 (IPv4)
• Initially deployed: 1 January 1983.
• IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers. (4.2 Billion)
• Example: 192.0.2.53
• Still the most commonly used version.
IP version 6 (IPv6)
• Published by the IETF in 1998.
• IPv6 addresses are 128-bit numbers. (340 Trillion Trillion Trillion)
• Example: 2001:0db8:582:ae33::29

Case Study: T-Mobile US Goes IPv6-
only Using 464XLAT
T-Mobile in the United States was running out of IPv4
addresses and needed an IPv6 transition strategy. Their
solution was 464XLAT and IPv6-only.
After launching this solution on 8 million phones T-Mobile
has seen 27% of all traffic on these phones be native IPv6,
and as the graph below shows, that number is still
growing. If your organisation doesn’t have a plan yet for
IPv6, what are you waiting for?
