The point where everyone notices IPv6

On Monday, IANA fulfilled its last request for /8 blocks of IPv4 addresses. This triggers the IANA “Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space” exhaustion phase. This doesn’t mean there are no more available IPv4 addresses - APNIC just got two /8s on top of whatever they already have, and expect to be rationing them out for at least another 5 years. ARIN reported that they have almost five /8s worth of IPv4 addresses left to allocate.
