Hi,

An interesting piece of news on the "ipv6depletion" website:

http://www.ipv4depletion.com/?p=557#comments

Because of two large delegations of the APNIC to two Chinese ISPs, the IANA depletion-day is moving real close.

In fact, based on the rumours in the last comment, it has actually already happening but the IANA is holding back the allocation of the two last IANA "non-final" /8 blocks to APNIC for a couple of days to plan for a major media-event. (which - I guess- will not happen on a friday; so probably early next week).


So, this leads us to the next question: What about a predection for the RIPE ipv4-depletion day?

According the "bye-bye ipv4" applet I have running, the RIPE-pool currently has some 10.7 % still free: 279835 /24 left before the "final-/8" rules become to play.

Any prediction how far we are from that point?



Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
