On 27 March 2009, the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) issued a ‘Questionnaire on IPv6 address allocation and encouraging the deployment of IPv6’ to all Member States of the Union, to be returned by 12 June 2009.
The results of the questionnaire will then form part of the study evaluating a request by some developing countries for the TSB to become an additional registry for IP addresses. The final report will be submitted to the closed ITU Council meeting in Geneva, 20-30 October 2009.
The Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), an ITU-D sector member, has provided a public response to assist Member States with data that may help in completing the questionnaire. The Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) has also provided data to CITEL (Inter-American Telecommunication Commission) to assist Latin American countries complete the survey.
Due to the interest expressed by many in the data, the NRO has produced this extended set of data for use by Member States and by the ITU TSB.
About the Number Resource Organization (NRO)
The NRO exists to protect the pool of unallocated Internet numbers (IP addresses and AS numbers) and serves as a coordinating mechanism for the five RIRs to act collectively on matters relating to the interests of RIRs.
NRO invites Member States to make use of the NRO as a single point of contact for all five RIRs and to contact the NRO if they are unsure which RIR is allocating address space to networks in their economy.
About the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are independent, not-for-profit membership organisations that support the infrastructure of the Internet through technical coordination. There are five RIRs in the world today. Currently, the Internet Assigned Numbers Association (IANA) allocates blocks of IP addresses and ASNs, known collectively as Internet number resources, to the RIRs, who then distribute them to their members within their own specific service regions. RIR members include Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications organisations, large corporations, governments, academic institutions, and industry stakeholders, including end users.
The RIR model of open, transparent participation has proven successful at responding to the rapidly changing Internet environment. Each RIR holds one to two open meetings per year, as well as facilitating online discussion by the community, to allow the open exchange of ideas from the technical community, the business sector, civil society, and government regulators.
The RIRs are an important part of the global Internet community and have strong relationships with local, regional and global organizations. These organizations work together within a model of enhanced cooperation and multistakeholder coordination to ensure the continued stability and security of the Internet.
Each RIR performs a range of critical functions including:
- The reliable and stable allocation of Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6 and AS Number resources)
- The responsible storage and maintenance of this registration data
- The provision of an open, publicly accessible database where this data can be accessed
- A range of technical and coordination services for the Internet community
Regional Internet Registries
Together, the five RIRs provide Internet number resource services to every economy in the world.

Summary of IP resources by economy
The five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) provide publicly accessible, daily updated statistical reports on IPv4 and IPv6 address delegations by economy. The reports are available from:
https://www.nro.net/statistics
Another source of important data on IP delegations is the whois database. Each RIR maintains a public whois database that contains information on IP addresses delegated to organizations, as well as assignments made by those organizations to their customers. The RIRs also maintain data on the organizations that have IP address delegations registered in each RIR database.
The TSB survey included a number of questions on IP resource distribution by economy. The questions were: 1) What is the number (absolute number, for example 10’000) of IPv4 addresses currently available and used in your country? 2) What is the number (absolute number, for example 10’000) of IPv6 addresses currently available and used in your country? 3) What is the number (absolute number, for example 100) of organizations in your country that currently have been allocated an IPv4 addresses block from one of the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)? 4) What is the number (absolute number, for example 100) of organizations in your country that currently have been allocated an IPv6 addresses block from one of the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)?
For ease of access, the NRO has grouped data responding to these questions into a single easily accessible table on the following pages. Allocations made on a specific regional basis are shown in the last rows of the table, beneath the economy-based allocations.
Information to assist in interpreting the table on the following pages
To make best use of the data, the NRO recommends that you read the notes below in conjunction with the data.
| Economy | ISO 3166-1 currently recognizes 246 different economies. The RIRs use this list for registering allocations and assignments in their whois databases. In addition to the officially recognized codes, the RIRs also use 2 regional designations: Asia Pacific and European Union.
The data in this table shows the economy to which IPv4 addresses were originally delegated. It does not show any subsequent change to the economy of IP address delegations that may occur after original delegations have been made. For example, while Serbia and Montenegro now exist as separate economies, the earlier designation as a single economy still appears in the table. Delegations made after Serbia and Montenegro were split into two economies will appear as separate entries under Serbia and, separately, Montenegro. Another implication of this preservation of original delegation information means that some economies appear to have no IP addresses when they in fact do. For instance, in the case of Martinique, the table below shows the economy as having no IPv4 addresses delegated directly by an RIR; however, Martinique does have address space assigned to its ISPs from RIR-delegated address ranges allocated to ISPs in the Netherlands Antilles and France. The addresses in this case, are therefore recorded in the table below as being delegated to the Netherlands Antilles and France. |
|
| IPv4 | Absolute number of addresses allocated | Due to the routing architecture of the Internet and international reach of many businesses and networks, there are also addresses delegated to organizations that operate in more than one economy. Allocations made on a specific regional basis are shown in the last row of the table, beneath the economy-based allocations. Some of the apparently economy-based allocations listed in the table below may also contain elements of cross-border use. Only individual organizations using the addresses can specify definitively whether all their addresses are used within the same economy.
It is important to note that, due to the hierarchical nature of addressing, not all IP addresses that are delegated to a network can, in fact, be used. Nor is it practical for a Member State to track the number of private IP addresses—often deployed for their perceived security advantages—that are in active use on networks. |
| /8s allocated | Because of the very large numbers of IPv4 addresses possible in some cases, the table includes a column showing the number of addresses using the standard Internet technical equivalent of a total number of /8s (a “slash 8” represents 224 IP addresses, or what was known historically as a “Class A” address block). | |
| Organizations with IPv4 addresses from RIR pools | The TSB survey requested information about the number of organizations with IPv4 addresses from RIR pools, so this is the information shown in the class=”innews”. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the true number of organizations receiving services from RIRs also includes those who received IPv4 before the RIR system began. | |
| IPv6 | /64s allocated | Because of the very large scale of numbers allocated in the IPv6 address space, we have not included absolute numbers of individual IP addresses, but have used /64 (or 264 addresses) notation. A single /64 is used to address a single IPv6 subnet where auto-configuration of host addresses is desired. The table also includes a column to show the number of addresses using the standard Internet technical equivalent of a total number of /32s (which represent 296 IP addresses, the standard minimum address block allocated to a network).
It is important to note that, due to the hierarchical nature of addressing, not all IP addresses that are delegated to a network can, in fact be used. This is particularly relevant to networks using IPv6, as the protocol’s addressing scheme is designed to facilitate more efficient network management and routing rather than efficient use of individual addresses. |
| /32s allocated | A /32 (or 296 addresses) is the current minimum allocation size given to a Local Internet Registry for distribution to its downstream customers. | |
| Organizations with IPv6 addresses from RIR pools | The NRO suggests using caution when analysing IPv6 distribution by economy as the total number of IPv6 addresses made to regionally based networks forms a significant proportion of IPv6 allocations made to date. |

Responses to the remainder of TSB survey questions
The remainder of the survey questions have been answered separately below.
Question 5. What would you expect your requirements to be in terms of the number (absolute number, for example 10’000) of IPv4 addresses in your country in the future?
The data published by the RIRs enables anyone to make projections of future address consumption based on past trends in address consumption. The NRO invites Member States to use the data summarized in the table below, which shows trends in address space consumption on a per-economy basis over the past four years.
It is important to note that future growth in IP allocations cannot simply be assessed by using projections based on past growth. New Internet applications and increased Internet penetration rates can result in exponential growth of allocations, while deployment of private IP addresses behind firewalls can result in slowed growth.
Information to assist in interpreting the table on the following pages
To make best use of the data, the NRO recommends that you read the notes below in conjunction with the data.
| Economy | ISO 3166-1 currently recognizes 246 different economies. The RIRs use this list for registering allocations and assignments in their whois databases. In addition to the officially recognized codes, the RIRs also use 2 regional designations: Asia Pacific and European Union. This table does not include a calculation for economies that received IP address space directly from the RIRs after 31 December 2008. For economies that have received address space from RIRs after this date, or for economies that have chosen to obtain address space from an upstream provider, please contact your local RIR for more information to help you calculate future IP address consumption trends. |
| Total address holdings | This data includes the total number of IPv4 addresses (as /32s or individual IP addresses) that were delegated to each economy as appear in the daily statistics files produced by the RIRs by the cut-off dates shown. |
| % increase 2007-2008 | As there is not a full set of data available yet for the year 2009, the percentage increase looks at the increase over the previous two full years of data, 2007 and 2008. For economies that have experienced a change from no IPv4 addresses in 2007 to having IPv6 addresses in 2008, it is not possible to calculate a percentage increase. In such cases, the table below shows “NA” (not applicable). The NRO suggests that, as Internet penetration rates have been increasing more rapidly in the past few years, Member States should consider placing greater weight on the trends for the last year or two, rather than earlier data trends. |

Question 6. What would you expect your requirements to be in terms of the number (absolute number, for example 10’000) of IPv6 addresses in your country in the future?
The data published by the RIRs enables anyone to make projections of future address consumption based on past trends in address consumption. The NRO invites Member States to use the data summarized in the table below, which shows trends in address space consumption on a per-economy basis over the past four years.
The NRO notes that as IPv6 adoption has historically been slow, Member States may wish to base their projections on a synthesis of both IPv6 and IPv4 consumption trends.
It is also important to note that future growth in IP allocations cannot simply be assessed by using projections based on past growth. New Internet applications and increased Internet penetration rates can result in exponential growth of allocations, while deployment of private IP addresses behind firewalls can result in slowed growth.
Information to assist in interpreting the table on the following pages
To make best use of the data, the NRO recommends that you read the notes below in conjunction with the data.
| Economy | ISO 3166-1 currently recognizes 246 different economies. The RIRs use this list for registering allocations and assignments in their whois databases. In addition to the officially recognized codes, the RIRs also use 2 regional designations: Asia Pacific and European Union. This table does not include a calculation for economies that received IP address space directly from the RIRs after 31 December 2008. For economies that have received address space from RIRs after this date, or for economies that have chosen to obtain address space from an upstream provider, please contact your local RIR for more information to help you calculate future IP address consumption trends. |
| Total address holdings | This data includes the total number of IPv6 /64s that were delegated to each economy as appear in the daily statistics files produced by the RIRs by the cut-off dates shown. |
| % increase 2007-2008 | As there is not a full set of data available yet for the year 2009, the percentage increase looks at the increase over the previous two full years of data, 2007 and 2008.
For economies that have experienced a change from no IPv4 addresses in 2007 to having IPv6 addresses in 2008, it is not possible to calculate a percentage increase. In such cases, the table below shows “NA” (not applicable). The NRO suggests that, as Internet penetration rates have been increasing more rapidly in the past few years, Member States should consider placing greater weight on the trends for the last year or two, rather than earlier data trends. |

Question 7. What, if any, facilities are present in your country, to encourage IPv6 deployment?
The NRO finds this to be an ambiguous question that is therefore difficult to answer. The NRO invites Member States to ask TSB to clarify what it intends Member States to interpret as “facilities”.
Question 8. What would you expect requirements to be in your country in terms of equipment necessary for the transition from IPv4 to IPv6?
The NRO would like to clarify that because the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 will take up to 20 years to complete, there will be a long period where both IPv4-only and IPv4/IPv6 networks will continue to exist. Timelines for the migration to IPv6 will vary significantly depending on the strategy network operators in each economy find most appropriate for their circumstances. Therefore, there will be a continuous scale of requirements, from networks that do not need to make any equipment changes now, to networks choosing to make those changes now, to networks that can simply buy IPv6-compatible equipment as part of the natural replacement cycle.
Question 9. What would you expect the cost to be of that equipment?
As noted above, this will be a very difficult question for Member States to answer as it depends on the strategy, or combination of strategies, best suited for the networks in their economy.
Question 10. Do you consider that you have adequate information on IP address allocation and registration policies and mechanisms?
All RIRs provide free and unfettered access to all IP address allocation and registration policies from their websites. Documents are also often available in multiple languages. The RIRs have a long and consistent history of engaging governments to help them understand how IP address management systems work and how stakeholders can participate in the open and transparent policy making processes that develop the allocation policies. The NRO invites Member States to visit the RIR websites linked from the NRO website at:
The NRO also invites Member States to make use of the NRO as a single point of contact for all five RIRs and to contact the NRO if they are unsure which RIR is allocating address space to networks in their economy.
Question 11. If you answered “no” to question 10 above, indicate what additional information would be useful for you:
Given the transparency of the RIR system and the RIRs’ engagement with Member States through not only the RIR system, but also through other forums such as the ITU, the IGF and the OECD, the RIRs are confident that any Member State with an interest in IP address distribution has ample opportunity to find any information it needs on allocation, registration, and associated IP addressing issues.
5) What are, to the best of your knowledge, the real or perceived barriers to IPv6 uptake, (for example, institutional barriers, cost of equipment, cost of training, current allocation policy, etc)?
In 2008, ARIN conducted a worldwide survey on IPv6 that asked a very similar question. The responses received to that survey have been summarized below. The full survey by ARIN and CAIDA can be found at:
http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/IPv6_Penetration_Survey_Results
| ARIN and CAIDA IPv6 2008 survey question: Comment on what has been (or will be) the biggest hurdle(s) to your organization deploying IPv6 | |
| Barrier | % response |
| Dual support for IPv4 and IPv6 at the application level | 49.4% |
| Cost of new hardware | 27.0% |
| Vendor support – routers | 26.8% |
| Vendor support – firewalls | 23.5% |
| Vendor support – OS | 14.4% |
| Vendor support – host applications | 16.7% |
| Vendor support – server applications | 21.9% |
| Problems with legacy network system | 25.2% |
| Problems with legacy applications | 28.1% |
| Lack of support from transit providers | 36.0% |
| Lack of support from end users | 29.6% |
| Multi-home problems | 14.7% |
| Lack of IPv6 expertise | 44.8% |
| Other | 8.6% |
6) What specific information would you expect to find on the ITU web site that will be created pursuant to WTSA Resolution 64?
It would be useful for the ITU website to contain links to existing good sources of IPv6 information, such as RIR and ISOC websites. Links to IPv6 resources in languages other than English would also be valuable. The ITU website should also contain links to information on IPv6 activities by economy, to assist Member States benchmark activities that are conducive to IPv6 adoption. 7) If you have any additional comments, please write them in below, or in an additional page.
In January and February this year, APNIC conducted a survey of IPv6 readiness of organizations in the Asia Pacific. Member states from the Asia Pacific may find it useful to review the results on pages 36-45 of:
http://www.apnic.net/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/6026/2009-survey-report.pdf
ISOC has also conducted a recent survey on IPv6 deployment experiences, the results of which are documented in this summary:
http://www.isoc.org/pubs/2009-IPv6-OrgMember-Report.pdf
# As Christmas Island is a territory of Australia, IPv4 addresses assigned to the island appear under the resources delegated to Australia in the daily statistics files produced by APNIC.
