Allocations of IPv6 address space are made to regional Internet registries according to their needs, based on
allocation rates they publish. Specifically, RIRs are eligible for further allocations if their available space
of existing allocations is less than 50% of a /12 address block, or less than their necessary space for the
following 9 months.

24-Month Forecast
The chart below uses RIPE NCC's current average allocation rate to forecast their available IPv6
space over the next 24 months. This can be used to estimate if RIPE NCC will become eligible to
apply for additional IPv6 space in the near future.
Allocations by Status
Status of IPv6 addresses IANA has allocated to RIPE NCC.
Allocations by Country

Allocations for the Last Six Months
Number of IPv6 addresses allocated by RIPE NCC to their network operators in the last six months.
Fragmented Allocations by Prefix Length
IPv6 address blocks smaller than /32 are considered "fragmented". The chart below shows the number
of fragmented blocks held by RIPE NCC.
