New report published: the state of IPv4 and the transfer landscape

Dear colleagues, We've published the second in our series of IP reports <https://labs.ripe.net/author/anastasiya-pak/the-state-of-ipv4-and-the-evolving-transfer-landscape/> that explores the evolving role of IPv4 transfers as a mechanism for managing address space in a post-exhaustion environment, alongside broader trends in availability, pricing, and usage. The report also highlights the operational and policy context in which transfers occur and offers practical observations for those managing IP resources. The report draws together input gathered from a series of interviews - with network operators, ISPs, cloud providers, regulators and other industry experts - conducted in 2024 by an external consultancy (NEXOP). Insights gained over the course of those interviews are presented in the context of a broader analysis of RIPE NCC registry data.
