Factors Affecting Pricing • RIPE Inter-RIR Transfers: Possible since
September 2015; Prices have equalized across regions
• IPv6 Deployment: Will reduce demand for IPv4 in the long term; Applications still need to support IPv6
• Use of CGN: Stretches use of IPv4 and reduces price pressure
• Supply of IPv4: As more IPv4 comes to market, such as /8s, prices are pushed down
• Demand for IPv4: Increased demand for cloud applications; population growth

Predictions for the Future • We are not at the top of the IPv4 Price
Curve: Prices will continue to rise somewhat
• /8s will continue to come to market, keeping prices reasonable
• The shortage of IPv4 addresses in APNIC region is being filled from ARIN region for now
