Given the significant amounts of resources required to make the transition to IPv6, IPv4 addresses are currently in high demand and hold substantial value. For those looking to acquire IPv4 addresses, their value is clear, in that they allow companies to continue to function without disruption as they upgrade to IPv6. It is also acknowledged, though, that as IPv6 becomes more widely accepted, IPv4 addresses will eventually begin to depreciate. For those who have excess supply that they can comfortably divest, this is the perfect opportunity.

Five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have controlled the allocation of IPv4 addresses since the end of the Legacy period, during which time a limited number of organizations were assigned large blocks of IPv4 addresses without contract or use limitations. These types of addresses, referred to as "legacy addresses", account for approximately 44 percent of the entire IPv4 address space. They also afford more flexibility in terms of acquisition because IPv4 addresses allocated by RIRs are subject to certain constraints pertaining to ownership, use and revocation.

Our services deliver liquidity in an otherwise illiquid marketplace. Kalorama has enabled numerous transactions of IPv4 addresses and currently offers parties the leading secure and discreet means for acquisition and divestiture, with our primary focus on ARIN, RIPE and APNIC IPv4 addresses.
