RIR System
• The Regional Internet Registry (RIR) System began in 1992
• There are five RIRs today
• The RIRs coordinate closely with the IANA
• The RIRs are not-for-profit organizations

Points of Interest
• ARIN Board of Trustees and LACNIC Board of Directors resolution on IPv4 depletion and migration to IPv6
• Policy proposals to change IPv4 distribution policies in all regions

IPv4 Depletion
• The total IPv4 addresses pool add a total aprox 4,300 millions of addresses.
• This space is regionally divided and administrated into 256 parts also known as /8.
• Each part is made of by aprox. 16,700,000 addresses.

Predictions
• Based on the current evolution of the IPv4 addresses consumption rate, by the mid 2010 the central pool of version 4 (IPv4) Internet addresses could be completely depleted.
• Based on the same suppositions, the pool administrated by the RIRs could be depleted in 2011/12.

Actions to take • Boost the IPv6 deployment
– Facilitate policy discussion– Waiver fees– Training and Workshops– Awareness Campaings
• Recovery of the non used space. – (i.e. ERX – 7 /8s)
• Analyzing the actions in order to minimize possible negative impacts.
TheCaribbean
TheCaribbean
• Governments– Coordination with the industry– Help promotion– Adopt IPv6 officially in state networking.
• Private Sector– Upgrade equipment and OS– Deploy IPv6 in their networks– Invest in training
What Others are doing
TheCaribbean
TheCaribbean
• The access to IPv6 space is not a problem
• The challenge is training, promotions and adoption of new technologies.
