Transfer of IPv4 Allocations• Policy 2007-08: Allocation Transfer Policy

– Don’t buy your IPv4 on eBay!– Transfer unused allocations to another LIR– Minimum allocation size /21– Evaluated by RIPE NCC– Update in RIPE Database

Make Plans Now• IPv4 space only given out on 3 month plan• IPv6 is easily available

– ...and free for LIRs• IPv6 offers the only way of supporting future

growth• Network Address Translation (NAT) is not ideal

– Breaks end-to-end communication principle

Measuring Readiness: IPv6 RIPEness★ Has IPv6 allocation★ IPv6 prefix announced★ A route6 object in the RIPE Database★ Reverse DNS is set up
