At the ENOG 16 conference, they proposed switching to IPv6

The regional conference for the Internet community ENOG 16/RIPE NCC, which started on June 3, continued its work in Tbilisi.

Maxim Burtikov, External Relations Director of RIPE NCC in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, noted in an interview with journalists that the share of Russian IPv6 Internet traffic, according to Google, is currently 3,45% of the total. In the middle of last year, this figure was about 1%.

In the global context, IPv6 traffic reached 28,59%, in the USA and India this figure is already higher than 36%, in Brazil it is 27%, in Belgium - 54%.

RIPE NCC Managing Director Axel Paulik warned event attendees that the registry will run out of available IPv2020 addresses this year or early 4 at the latest and suggested starting to use IPv6, the next generation of IP addresses.

“IPv6 addresses are available from the RIPE NCC without restrictions. Last year, 4610 IPv4 and 2405 IPv6 address blocks were issued,” Paulik said.

He also announced the forthcoming launch of the RIPE NCC Certified Professionals program, which will allow anyone to become certified in a variety of networking related topics. An application for participation in the first pilot certification can be submitted at this link.

ENOG conferences are held in different cities and countries once a year, bringing together industry experts from 27 countries to discuss topical issues.

This event was opened by Nigel Titley, Georgy Gotoshia (NewTelco) and Alexey Semenyaka. Sergey Myasoedov introduced the ENOG dictionary to the participants — since the conference is being held for the 16th time, independent terms and designations have appeared.

Igor Margitich spoke about the application for communication at events, Jeff Tantsura (Apstra) spoke about Intent Based Networking technology. Konstantin Karosanidze, as a host, told the story of the Georgian IXP.

Mikhail Vasiliev (Facebook) showed a presentation that looked at an example of working traffic within the network. According to him, vendors will not be able to become providers of solutions for the social network Facebook if they do not provide services or equipment over IPv6. Vasiliev demonstrated a scheme for building an internal network between its data centers - one of the most loaded systems in terms of transmitted traffic, noting that all internal traffic is already running over IPv6.

The conference was also attended by Pavel Lunin from Scaleway and Keyur Patel (Arrcus, Inc.).
