IPv4

• IPv4 space 4.294.967.296 IP addresses (not all of them are

usable)

• It seems a lot of space, right?
• But the world population is almost 7 billion people
• 87% use cell phone and 35% use Internet
• There are people who use more than one IP
• They don’t seem so much anymore, right?

Growth of connected devices and users

• Internet emerged as a network of universities
• whos was going to think that 4 billion IP would not

enough?

HOW INTERNET NUMBER RESOURCES ARE DISTRIBUITED?

Regional Internet Registry (RIRs)

IANA AFRINIC APNIC ARIN LACNIC ISP End Users End Users End Users RIPE

Internet Number Resources Distribution

IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) actualmente bajo la responsabilidad de ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)

IPv4 Exhaustion Period

Phase 2 Started June 10, 2014 /10 where reserved for this period. Additional allocation every 6 months Phase 3 Started February 15, 2017 Almost 5Millon IPs /10 + Available space is unly for new entrance Before exhaustion period: Allocation base on need Now: maximum allocation /22, mínimum /24

HOW TO PROCEED?

Three possible options

• Carrier grade NAT / Large scale NAT
• IPv4 market transfer
• Deploy IPv6

Network Address Translation (NAT)

• Allow multiple devices sharing Internet connection with

just one public IP.

• It is not a sustainable solution.

IPv4 market transfer

• Policy 2.3.2.18 allow organizations to transfer

IPv4 ranges without a merge / acquisition process.

What are ISPs doing in LAC?

• Most of ISPs are using CGNAT

– Mobile network – Residential user (xDSL+HFC) – When customers complain they allocate them public IP.

• Corporate customers usually receive public IP.

Status of Phase 3

http://www.lacnic.net/en/web/lacnic/agotamiento-ipv4

• IPv4 reserved for the Phase 3: 4986368
• IPv4 allocated in this phase: 986112
• IPv4 available in this block: 4000256

How to request an IPv4 block to LACNIC?

Requirements

• Be legally established within the region and use the

resources in LACNIC's coverage area.

• Prove utilization or immediate necessity of 25% of the

requested space.

• Submit a detailed one-year plan of 50%.
