Category: IPv4 depletion

According to Geoff Huston‘s automated predictions, today is the day where AFRINIC has only two years left before they run out of IPv4 addresses. As time progresses, AFRINIC might hit their Z day sooner. AFRINIC has a webpage of their own on the IPv4 exhaustion within AFRINIC.

ARIN announced today the depletion of its IPv4 resources from their free pool. Only AfriNIC remains before all public IPv4 addresses are depleted. IPv6, anyone?

ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers, is closing in on their Z day. Soon only AfriNIC will have IPv4 address blocks available for their customers, and even AfriNIC will run out of IPv4 addresses sometime in the year 2019. See ARIN’s IPv4 depletion webpage for more information. The bottom line is: Start using IPv6!
