[menog] IPv4 depletion update

[Ahmed Abu-Abed]

Good day;

Looking at the IPv4 depletion statistics, it looks like some countries in the MENOG region are in a more critical situation.

The latest data show the IANA IPv4 depletion date varying between March 2011 (aggressive prediction, http://ipv4depletion.com/) and August 2011 (conservative, www.ipv6forum.org ) . In other words, we are only 10 to 15 months away  from start of depletion.

Geoff Huston, APNIC Researcher and Scientist, publishes IPv4 stats on all countries. A snap shot is shown below, and I only included a few MENOG countries as well as 3 non-MENOG members for comparison. If there is demand for the full Excel spreadsheet I can send it.

Note that Egypt and Jordan are using more than 90% of their allocated IPv4 addresses (I.e. /32s) to date. Jordan, being a RIPE region member, will probably have more difficulty in getting new allocations as RIPE has one of the higher burn rates.

One can only say its time to act on offering IPv6 to subscribers. And this needs significant work on the core, OSS/BSS, international gateway as well as access systems.

Regards,
-Ahmed
