If the transition to IPv6 has not taken place for so many years, then something has gone wrong.

Deployment of IPv6 is going well in many places around the world, in certain countries, such as France and Germany, we observe more IPv6 traffic than IPv4 (in fact, it's not even that bad in Russia now); and some operators no longer provide IPv4 connectivity. Yes, it should have happened more than 15 years ago. The problem exists because resource hoarders thought they had more than enough, because they could not think of that many devices requiring connectivity, and/or often because they did not care about the Internet or even understand what its principles of functioning are. So, resource hoarding is a problem inherent to IPv4; and that problem is made worse by those that do nothing to help with the transition. Hence, why should we have sympathy for those that contribute to the problem and not the solution?

Hi fellow members, RIPE is committed to treat members equally but can't provide each member with the resources they need (namely IPv4 space). So this promise fails and we may want to compensate for that unfairness with an adjusted billing. We can come up with interesting charging schemes as discussed - I won't add on that topic. The situation would be less painful for some but still remain unfair. What would be fair is to aim to go back to a situation where every member has access to the resources they need. As it is impossible to determine the exact number of resources a member really needs, we can't do anything fair about IPv4 space. Except for one thing : getting rid of it. What we need is not IPv6 adoption, it is an IPv4 phase out plan. Without such a plan there is little incentive to stop using it. The plan can start with RIPE making some services like LIR portal accessible IPv6-only, at start a few weeks a year then permanently. We can progressively add more services IPv6-only, financial incentives, promote "ipv6-only days", whatever. But we need a date at which point root servers are ipv6-only, all data related to ipv4 is removed from the registry, and members agreed to stop forwarding ipv4 on public networks (and if there is no longer any source of truth about who is supposed to announce what it would be insecure to continue forwarding anyway). However far in the future this date may be set, we need it to be set to make things move. Some countries already have a plan (whole country for China and partial for Czech Republic if I'm right). IMO, we should focus on such a plan rather than relying on the charging scheme to address the issue. If we can do like these countries and aim for 2030-32 (!), then that's only a few years left of unfairness. Hoping my input was worth your time reading, I wish all of you the best.

Hi,

why should they return?

They sell them for 7500-8500€ for /24, where they only pay 50€ / year…

I would not return either…

 Ok! Friends if you did it (moving to IPv6) please return IPv4 to RIPE. More people will be happy! Why not?

It will nothing change. Because LIR portal not a thing needed every day and even month. The bigest problem is a great number of small clients and network for which it is very very very real hard to do migration to IPv6 or will make work in mixed IPv4+IPv6 mode. Unfortunately - it was a very bad idea to make new IPv6 protocol uncompotible with old. So, in many small network migration it's need fully rebuild and reconfigure too much independed clients and devices in short time. Yes! Big companies can to do it by having specialists and spending money. But for LIR with a lot ammount of small and of diferent level independed clients migration stay imposible, as fact. So again, now we see, it was a big mistake thinking that everyone will migrate to IPv6. I think it really happen in dozens years more. If we want to decide IPv4 problem, then comunity must work on decision to create posibilty stay end customers on IPv4 with core exchange networks migration to IPv6. I think, it will do not need so much changes and update end network devices. The main problem is DNS software that will can represent IPv6 to IPv4 and integrated with it "CG6NAT" for IPv4 to IPv6 translation. Plus all community support for these technologies with the allocation of special overlapping areas in IPv4 for direct connections IPv4 or IPv6 configurable by LIR. Modern high-performance equipments will handle it ease. If we will take more money for our budget, may be we can do it as our mission. Serbulov Dmitry.
