Ipv4 Exhaustion: Are We Ready To Face It ?

This document discusses the impending exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and the need to transition to IPv6. It notes that the limited 32-bit IPv4 address space is not sufficient to connect all current and future internet devices. IPv6 was designed by IETF to replace IPv4 and uses a much larger 128-bit address space to assign trillions of addresses. The document outlines challenges in transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, such as the incompatibility between the protocols and need for translation. It highlights that IPv4 addresses from IANA are nearly exhausted and over 96% of addresses given to the African region have been used. The document urges internet service providers and network infrastructures to support IPv6 in order to ensure future

IPv4 Exhaustion
are we ready to face it ?

PRESENTER : ASIM ADIL HASSAN

 Internet Protocol used to identify nodes.

 IP addresses are managed by the Internet


Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

 Five Regional Internet Registers (RIR) under


(IANA).

 16.8 million addresses for each Regional Internet


Registers.

 IPv4address space is a 32 bit field. Has only


4.3 billion addresses.

 Computers, Tablets, Smartphones, TVs,


Gaming systems. Each one of those need an
IP address.

 Limited
amount of IP addresses. Not sufficient
to connect the millions of Internet subscribers
now and in future.
IPv6 Revolution ! 5

 IPv6 is the network layer Protocol design to


replace IPv4 and address some of its weakness.

 Designed by Internet Engineering Task Force


(IETF).

 IPv6 is designed to identify a total of 340 trillion


trillion trillion, possible equipment, not all of them
can be used.
Why IPv6 ? 6

 Efficiency : IPv6 simplifies packets and


speeds up data transmission by handling
packets more efficiently.
Why IPv6 ? (Cont.) 7

 Inevitability : IPv6 will soon be the only option for


adding new devices or hosts on the Internet.
Why IPv6 ? (Cont.) 8

 Security : IPv6 has been built from the ground up


with security in mind.

 Address Space : Increase from 32-bit to 128-bit


address space.

 Management : Stateless auto configuration allows


hosts to configure themselves automatically using
Neighbor Discovery Protocol.
Problems 9

 IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible and can’t


directly communicate with each other.

IPV6 IPV4

IPV6 IPV4

TRANSLATOR
11

Translation will :
 Add extra cost and equipment to the network.

 Break the communication.


Do you know ? 12

 (IANA) have no more IPv4 addresses to provide.

 96.25% of IPv4 addresses given to AFRINIC are


consumed.
IPv6 in Sudan 13

 SDv6TF (Sudanese IPv6 Task Force) was formed


in 2010 to fellow the implementation of IPv6
migration plan.

 By November 2012 all telecom operators are


becoming IPv6 enabled.

 By August 2014 Sudanese Research and


Education Network (SudREN) is the first ISP to be
fully IPv6 Enabled.
Migration to IPv6 14

 Internet Service Provider (ISP) : Make sure that


(ISP) is providing IPv6 services.

 Network Infrastructures : Routers should support


IPv6.

Start and Activate IPv6 deployment on


your network now
