Benefits of Choosing Registered Brokers over Black Market Brokers – Infographic
The IPv4 address market comprises registered brokers, and the ones handling black market transactions. The latter brokers conceal their identities by not entering into contracts with clients. This means they are protected from any contract-related liability. For the client, this means no guarantee and no recourse if the black market broker mishandles transactions. This is reason enough to consider choosing registered IPv4 brokers instead of the others. Are you still not convinced of choosing them? Here is an infographic illustrating some benefits of making the choice.

Public IP Address Allocation 2020 – Infographic
RIRs allocate IP addresses to internet providers and other companies that provide customers with internet services. There are five regional internet registries (RIRs) that handle the IP address allocation task for different regions of the world. They are APNIC, RIPE NCC, ARIN, AFRINIC, and LACNIC. The US is where the internet was invented, so unsurprisingly, it is the only nation that belongs to the “One Billion IP Addresses” club. This is evident in the following infographic. Just do not think that the nations having a smaller number of IP addresses allocated to them are lacking these so much. For instance, 7 million IP addresses are allocated to New Zealand, but the nation’s population is small too. So the Kiwis are[…]

What is IPv4 Blacklisting?
IPv4 address blacklisting is a very common practice in the IPv4 marketplace these days. Most of us would have experienced networking attacks in one form or the other, such as malware, phishing, spam emails, or ransomware attacks. These malicious attacks originate from a local computer using the internet (meaning an IP address) and find their way to yours. There are many dedicated organizations, which track down such IPv4 addresses that are used for spamming or networking attacks. They have public databases of the blacklisted IPv4 addresses, which can be used by anyone to block connections from suspicious IPs. Some ISPs and private companies also provide a list of blacklisted IPv4 addresses to help make their network safer for the users.[…]

What you Should Know about the IPv4 Transfer Market
Buying IPv4 address blocks for your business can be a very complicated process. You should conduct due diligence when you buy IPv4 address blocks and be aware of what to look for to make sure that the transaction meets your needs. Below are a few things that you should know about the IPv4 transfer market. Pre-Approval Process When you are in the marketplace to buy IPv4 address blocks, you need to initiate a pre-approval process before moving forward with the transaction. This is especially important for those in the ARIN and APNIC regions. The pre-approval process will help you to determine the correct IPv4 address block size that you can buy for your business. Once you are aware of that,[…]

Performing Due Diligence before IPv4 Address Trade
IPv4 trade involves being very careful to complete the transaction safely and successfully. That is why it is recommended to sign a mutual confidentiality agreement as soon as you start the trade discussions with the other party. No matter whether you are looking to buy IPv4 address blocks for your company or sell the unused ones in your possession, you should always conduct due diligence before the trade. Performing Due Diligence When Buying IPv4 Addresses If you were the buyer, due diligence for you would start as soon as you acquire the specific designation of the available IPv4 addresses from the seller or intermediary agent. To start, you should verify the seller’s good standing and assess the reputation of the[…]

The Advantages of Choosing a Dedicated DHCP Server
DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol servers work by providing and assigning IP addresses automatically, along with default gateways as well as other network parameters to the client device in order to broadcast their queries. As the protocol sends the required elements automatically, this allows the client to communicate properly on the network without requiring the network administrator to manually configure each client in the network. In a large enterprise, manually setting up the clients joining the network can be quite cumbersome the network administrator. With the DHCP server in place, each of the clients would be assigned a unique dynamic IP address, which would change automatically when the client’s lease has expired that IP address. Choosing a centralized, dedicated[…]

Facts to Know About Internet Protocols
Internet protocols, abbreviated as IPs, enable computers to communicate with each other. When these communicate, data moves from one system to another one. Internet protocols also give these devices IP addresses to identify one another. Two types of internet protocols exist today, namely IPv4 and IPv6. When the internet began spreading quickly in the 1990’s, there were in excess of 4 billion IPv4 addresses. The sixth version of internet protocol came in 1998. Both versions of internet protocols can coexist inside a network. Here are more fun facts about IPs.

A Quick Look at APNIC IPv4 Transfers
An IPv4 address transfer can only happen when the source account initiates the process. At the same time, the recipient account would be required to acknowledge the transfer of the IP address within a month or the request would be canceled by APNIC. After both the parties agree to the IPv4 transfer, APNIC Hostmasters would evaluate the request and approve it if it meets all the terms and conditions specified by the Regional Internet Registry. Generally, APNIC Hostmasters takes around 1 – 2 working days to respond to an IPv4 address transfer request. Once it is approved, the IPv4 addresses to be transferred would show up on the transfer log on the APNIC website. However, the RIR might ask for[…]

What Does IPv4 Subnetting Mean?
Subnetting refers to a defined course of action that takes a network and splits it into smaller ones, which are called subnets. The method is generally used to make more public IPv4 addresses available as well as to create segment networks, which makes it easy to manage the network and improves security. The subnetting process can be easily understood if you were acquainted with how the binary structure of IP addresses and their decimals work. As an IPv4 address is characteristically a 32-bit number, they are categorized into 4 x 8-bit numbers to make the IP addresses simpler. These 8-bit numbers, known as octets, are separated using a decimal point and range within 0 to 255. The highest number here[…]
