IPv4 transfers related to final /8 (103/8)

How many IPv4 transfers involved final /8 (103/8)? 3

How many M & As involved final /8 (103/8)? 4

How many final /8 delegations have been transferred? 5

How many of them transferred within a year? 6

APNIC Hostmaster practice Before making an IPv4 delegation from the final /8 pool, APNIC Hostmasters will ask the requester to confirm not to transfer the resource within one year because the delegation is based on their 12-month requirements If a Member comes back to request IPv4 transfer within one year, APNIC Hostmasters will reject their transfer request according to their confirmation in the original request This practice also applies to the delegations from the recovered IPv4 pool 7

Conclusion – from the last 4 years Approx 18% of the IPv4 transfers involved final /8 range Approx 18% of Mergers and Acquisitions (M & A) involved final /8 range Less than 2% of the final /8 delegations are being transferred via IPv4 transfer and M & A Very few transfers happened within a year after the original delegation The current Hostmaster procedure works well in practice 8
