The issue will end IPv4 has resonated among the Internet players in recent years. Various calculations performed, and until the middle of last year, ending freepool IPv4 IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is estimated at around mid-2011 this.

Indeed, there are 5 blocks / 8 again who saved the IANA, but blocks are immediately distributed evenly to each region: Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Last five blocks will also be allocated to users in a manner that is much more stringent than before and the maximum is much smaller.

"The future of the Internet is IPv6. All relevant components must make concrete steps for immediate use IPv6," he said.

IPv4 end is indeed a blow heavy enough for most countries in the Asia Pacific region. "This region is the region with the largest population in the world and has rapid economic growth. Almost all the country's internet infrastructure is developing rapidly." argues Geoff Huston, Chief Scientist APNIC.
