IPv4 Addresses Drying Up In China

IPv4 Addresses Drying Up In ChinaOver at ChinaTechNews, they are reporting that China may soon run out of IP addresses. According to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNIC), under the current allocation speed, China’s IPv4 address resources can only meet the demand of 830 more days, which means about January 01, 2011. Li Kai, director in charge of the IP business for CNNIC’s international department, says that new IPv6 network addresses are only used among educational networks in China.

So apparently, China isn’t much further along with IPv6 deployment than Europe (GEANT) and North America (Internet2), where the research/educational community primarily has large IPv6 networks

IPv6 anyone?

Updated 03-10-09 The web monitoring company Pingdom says that IPv6 traffic at the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the Internet’s biggest exchange, accounted for just 0.25 percent of total Internet traffic.

rb- Who says IPv6 isn’t coming? This study shows a 250% increase in IPv6 use from the data reported by Arbor Networks in September 2008.

Arbor Networks released a study The EIPv6 anyone?nd is Near but is IPv6? which says the adoption of IPv6 has been very slow thus far. The network security vendor produced the study along with the University of Michigan and about 100 ISPs and content companies. It suggested that IPv6 adoption is growing but currently amounts to less than one-hundredth of 1% of Internet traffic.

As has been pointed out in this blog IPv4 addresses are running out, but IPv6 is still trying to gain some traction.

encouraging a migration to IPv6ars Technica has an article where ARIN is encouraging migration to IPv6. The article states there are still IPv4 addresses available until 2010. An ARIN spokesperson told ars that “19 percent of the IPv4 address space is still available, with 13 percent unavailable and 68 percent “allocated.”

The group is reluctant to make predictions on when the supply of IPv4 addresses will run out, choosing instead to watch distribution and consumption trends so that others can do the predicting. “Those forecasts have some variation, but it is clear that this could be an issue as soon as 2010.”
