Sell IPv4: Get Revenue from selling IP addresses.
IPv4 depletion affecting IPv4 sales:
IPv4 has run out and IPv4 blocks prices are undergoing a continuous escalation unless one avails the service of an IPv4 broker. IPv4 prices are mainly affected by four factors, which are listed below:
1. Market Demand: The demand for IPv4 is ever increasing. Apart from the demand for IoT and cloud computing, the current Corona pandemic has resulted in Government advisory for work from home and this too is expected to further inflate demand. Naturally, this is a factor that will only inflate prices further, while other factors attempt to regulate this upswing.
2. RIR protocol: RIR populate and aggregate unwanted, misused or unused IPv4 and then assign them to exclusive paying members based on the principle of non-repetition. Due to this selection process, it reduces the stress on the price, which may have ballooned further under an auctioning process.
3. Use of CGN: Carrier Grade Nat, is a technology that helps extend the possibility of generating new IPv4 addresses and gives temporary relief to the demand-supply gap. Even then, it is not sufficient to actually service the entire demand for IPv4 addresses.
4. IPv6 compatibility: IPv6, the much talked about the intended replacement for IPv4 has no reverse compatibility. Yet, companies are trying to incorporate systems that allow for compatibility between IPv4 and iPv6 and help them function seamlessly without having to worry about IPv4 exhaustion of their own reserves. Although effective, it is still more costly than availing an IPv4 address through a registered broker.
