IPv4 Investment: Put Your Address Capacity to Work
Make IPv4 work for your business: grow with direct address supply, keep capital available and turn unused blocks into cash with LARUS.
Can IPv4 be a timeless resource?
IPv4 supply is finite across the global registry system while more customers and services continue to come online.
IPv4 in Europe
After more than 35 years of IPv4 distribution, the European registry faced the limits imposed by a shrinking resource pool.
IPv4 in Taiwan
APNIC provides IPv4 resources, registration and related services across 56 economies.
The rise of IPv6 in China
APNIC reported a sharp rise in IPv6 use by China Telecom, highlighting the region’s ongoing transition.
IPv6 security considerations
As IPv6 adoption grows, security remains a practical part of every network deployment decision.
IPv6 adoption: then and now
Google’s long-running measurements show how IPv6 connectivity has evolved among its users.
IP geolocation: what is it?
IP geolocation connects an address with an approximate network location, helping services deliver the right local experience.
IPv4 address misuse and abuse
As IPv4 became scarce, regional registries developed transfer markets for address blocks that were increasingly difficult to source.
Recovering unused IPv4 address space
APNIC’s 2018 survey showed that many organisations still had work to do before an IPv6 deployment.
IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 adoption in Latin America
Latin America entered a period of IPv4 scarcity as IPv6 deployment moved more slowly than demand.
