Hi Tanya,

Each of the RIRs publishes statistics everyday regarding their allocations/assignments. These are rather straight forward reports of activity. The RIRs do not publish any analysis this information but rather provide the raw data in a common format that can be used by anyone in the global community to do research and analysis. I was merely suggesting that since there seemed to be a discussion and inferences occurring that it might be interesting to look at a couple of different views.

Hey there Ray!

Are these actually statistics or parameters, and are either available at this time for IPv6 and IPv4? I would be interested in seeing them, especially would like to update my view of how IPv6 is being utilized at this time.

Thanks,
Tanya
