by Mirjam Kuehne 04 Mar '10

Dear Colleagues, On 30 January 2010, APNIC surpassed the RIPE NCC in terms of total assigned/allocated IPv4 address space. Inspired by this milestone, the RIPE NCC analysed the rate of global IPv4 address allocations and assignments over time and per RIR. This analysis brought some interesting results, which are now available on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/content/ipv4-address-allocation-rates Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

IANA IPv4 Address Pool Dips Below 10%
by Paul Rendek 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, With the distribution of two /8 blocks to APNIC, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) today announced that less than ten percent of available IPv4 addresses remain unallocated. “This is a key milestone in the growth and development of the global Internet,” noted Axel Pawlik, Chairman of the NRO. “With less than ten percent of the entire IPv4 address range still available for allocation to RIRs, it is vital that the Internet community take considered and determined action to ensure the global adoption of IPv6. The limited IPv4 addresses will not allow us enough resources to achieve the ambitions we all hold for global Internet access. The deployment of IPv6 is a key infrastructure development that will enable the network to support the billions of people and devices that will connect in the coming years.” You can view the NRO press release in its entirety at: http://www.nro.net/media/less-than-10-percent-ipv4-addresses-remain-unalloc… Please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net> if you have any questions or comments. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Confirms Commitment to DNSSEC Deployment in the Root Zone
by Andrei Robachevsky 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Dear Colleagues, On 1 December 2009, ICANN and VeriSign began to deploy DNSSEC across the root server system when they signed the root zone using DNSSEC. They noted that the signing would become public from January 2010, when the process of signing each of the 13 root servers in turn would begin. This process will continue until July 2010, when ICANN publishes the root zone trust anchor and root operators begin to serve the signed root zone with actual keys. On 15 December 2009, the root zone DNSSEC deployment team launched a website that provides information about DNSSEC for the root zone: http://www.root-dnssec.org/ The website is a repository for the documentation relating to the deployment of DNSSEC in the root zone, and it includes information such as technical status updates and the full timetable for the deployment of DNSSEC. The RIPE NCC, operator of K-root, confirms its commitment to support the ICANN/VeriSign initiative and coordinate with the other root zone server operators in the deployment of DNSSEC in the root zone. The RIPE NCC also provides data collection and measurements that allows monitoring of the effects the transition has on the overall performance of the root server system. This information is available on RIPE Labs at: http://labs.ripe.net/content/preparing-k-root-signed-root-zone Further details on the RIPE NCC's operation of K-root are available at: http://k.root-servers.org Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky Chief Technical Officer RIPE NCC
