- 尽管 IPv4 地址已耗尽十多年且二级市场不断发展，但其需求依然存在。
- 定价信号显示出韧性，但政策限制和参差不齐的 IPv6 采用使长期预测变得复杂。
天生稀缺：IPv4 市场为何依然重要
全球 IPv4 地址池已耗尽十多年，但需求并未消失。互联网号码分配局在 2011 年确认，所有可用的 IPv4 地址块都已分配给区域性互联网注册机构，结束了常规分配。此后，IPv4 地址通过转让和租赁市场流通，而非通过中央分配。
这种稀缺性已将 IPv4 重塑为一种可交易的数字资源。即使在 IPv6 不断扩展的情况下，企业、云提供商和互联网服务提供商仍需要 IPv4 连接来支持遗留系统和维持兼容性。这导致市场驱动力较少来自互联网用户增长，而更多来自基础设施转型的缓慢步伐。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
定价与需求：市场信号
来自经纪商的公开交易数据和注册机构的转让日志表明，尽管存在地区差异，但 IPv4 价格总体上随时间呈上升趋势。由美国互联网号码注册机构监管的市场往往更具流动性，因为转让政策不要求买家证明即时技术需求。相比之下，欧洲 IP 网络协调中心和亚太网络信息中心适用更严格的标准，从而限制了交易量。
需求由多个因素驱动。云迁移可以释放未使用的地址空间，但也可能在混合部署期间增加短期 IPv4 需求。内容分发网络和托管提供商通常需要 IPv4 可达性，以服务于 IPv6 采用率较低的地区。与此同时，投机行为已进入市场，一些持有者推迟出售，以期未来价格更高。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.
然而，缺乏透明、标准化的定价使得估值变得困难。IPv4 不是受监管的金融资产，注册机构明确表示不设定或认可市场价格。这就引发了定价是否反映潜在效用或短期稀缺叙事的问题。 另见: 罗伯特·纽沃斯.
案例研究：迁移后环境中的 IPv4 需求
Brander Group 审阅的一个案例研究了一家将大量工作负载迁移到云平台的跨国企业。虽然此举降低了内部网络复杂性，但并未消除 IPv4 需求。面向客户的服务和第三方集成仍然需要 IPv4 连接。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.
该组织确定了多余的地址块，但选择不立即出售。相反，它在监测市场状况的同时，出租部分持有地址以保持灵活性。根据该案例研究，该策略平衡了短期收入与长期运营不确定性，突显出仅靠定价信号并不能决定最优决策。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
未来前景：韧性或逐渐衰落
IPv6 的采用率持续上升，但各地区和行业的进展仍然不均衡。谷歌的公开数据显示 IPv6 使用量持续增长，但互联网的大部分仍然依赖 IPv4。这种双栈现实支持了持续需求，但也限制了长期信心。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
对于政策制定者和注册机构而言，挑战在于平衡高效的地址使用与市场现实。对于市场参与者来说，关键问题是时机：IPv4 定价是反映了持久的效用，还是稀缺性消退前的过渡阶段。 另见: 美国封堵海外AI芯片采购漏洞.
