The available pool of IPv4 address space is continuing to diminish. As we approach the 10% mark for available IPv4 resources, it becomes more vital for all organizations to implement IPv6 before time runs out.

In this future looking session, John Curran, the president and CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), will discuss how organizations need to prepare for IPv4 depletion challenges, key considerations for IPv6 adoption, and the benefits of early IPv6 adoption.

Additionally, John will review IPv4 depletion and IPv6 adoption statistics, address allocation trends, and the IPv6 educational resources available to help organizations prepare their networks for IPv6.

ARIN is the nonprofit corporation that manages the distribution of Internet number resources, including IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), to Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States.
