About the APNIC plenary

It is estimated the remaining unallocated IANA IPv4 pool will be consumed within the next five years. What will happen when that time arrives? Will IPv4 continue to be the protocol of choice via NATs or recycled addresses? Are concerns about an expensive and time consuming transition to IPv6 valid? This plenary will examine these issues and more.

Why you should participate

If you manage an IPv4-based network and plan to expand it over the next few years, you will be affected by the consumption of the unallocated IPv4 address pool. Come to this plenary to discuss the future of IPv4 and IPv6 with the panel experts.

If you cannot attend the plenary in person, you can participate online.
