Could it be that you are only as IPv6 as your least-capable dependency? 🤔

In this new article for RIPE Labs, community contributor Spiro Stathakis argues the IPV6-first Amazon EKS is a practical and worthwhile default in 2026...
.. But it still cannot eliminate IPv4 completely.

How did a feature created for a handful of members end up becoming a long-term operational challenge❓

The story of multiple Local Internet Registry (LIR) accounts is closely linked to IPv4 exhaustion. As IPv4 became scarcer, the incentives around additional LIR accounts began to change.

Today, only around 2.1% of RIPE NCC members still operate multiple LIR accounts.

In this RIPE Labs article, Marco Schmidt and Ilke Ilhan trace how multiple LIR accounts evolved, and explore whether their remaining benefits still justify the operational complexity they create.

👉Read the full story:

Why a feature introduced for a handful of members became one of the RIPE NCC's most complex operational challenges.
