Abstract
Beginning as early as five years ago, with a report at the
Vancouver IETF, we have realized that the growing popularity of
the Internet put us in danger of exhausting the relatively small
IP address space. Since then, this awareness has focused the
Internet community. There's been new technology with BGP4, CIDR,
and IPng. And, there's been considerable policy changes in the
way that addresses are assigned and administered.
How are these measures working? Are there still reasons for
concern? Will IPng be ready in time? Indeed, is IPng the only
answer? Are there other technologies or policies that would also
help? And, how does this issue impact Internet service providers
and the other growing industries in the new commercial Internet
environment?
This panel will present the latest growth data and will discuss
how both technology and policies impact this issue. Audience
feedback on this important topic will be important, so come
prepared to air your views. The panel contains the IETF CIDR
Deployment WG chair, 2 IAB members, and an IESG member; and the
Stockholm IETF will be less than a month away!
