Magic :-) Thanks everyone..... Mark Hands ntl: Hook Senior Data Planning Engineer t: 01256 752624 m: 07866 572314 e: mark.hands(a)ntl.com -----Original Message----- From: Michael.Dillon(a)radianz.com [mailto:Michael.Dillon@radianz.com] Sent: 27 October 2003 13:35 To: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] IPv4 Exhaustion >I am trying to get hold of accurate, up-top-date figures showing me how much >IPv4 space there is left, and how long that is predicted to last. >I cannot find any up-to-date presentations, charts or reports on RIPE, ARIN, >ICANN or IANA. >Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place....can someone help me please. Check the latest ARIN newsletter here http://www.arin.net/announcements/20031008.html available in PDF format. The article on exhaustion is by Geoff Huston who periodically posts article on the topic here http://www.potaroo.net/ispcolumn/ and here http://www.potaroo.net/papers.html Note the reference to RIPE 46 at that last URL. In general RIPE, ARIN and APNIC meetings are a good way to keep up to date on this and other addressing issues. In the ARIN region the trend of IP address consumption continues its slow downward slide and the policy trend continues towards making it easier for smaller entities to receive blocks of IP addresses direct from the RIR. In general, I think RIPE members on this list would find it useful to keep track of the ARIN meetings and their outcomes. There was a meeting last week in Chicago http://www.arin.net/ARIN-XII/index.html and the agenda page has links to most of the presentations. The minutes should be up on the site in a week or so. Policy outcomes take a while to be announced because of the need for Board of Trustees ratification. Note that I am *NOT* suggesting that RIPE policy should be synchronised in any way with ARIN policy. I believe that regions need to make policy that works in their own political, economic and social climates. However, it is useful to be aware of the context in other regions when making policy because sometimes good ideas pop up elsewhere first. --Michael Dillon located in London but getting addresses from ARIN The contents of this email and any attachments are sent for the personal attention of the addressee(s) only and may be confidential.

Hello all, I am trying to get hold of accurate, up-top-date figures showing me how much IPv4 space there is left, and how long that is predicted to last. I cannot find any up-to-date presentations, charts or reports on RIPE, ARIN, ICANN or IANA. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place....can someone help me please.
