Oh you bastard I was just about to link thatMinimum allocation requests are now at a /24, so I'd expect to see a pile of new companies requesting direct address spacing now as a result, which may speed the process up a bit.
You can already see the results of the run out happening in processing times. Turn around is about a week between replies and if you follow their issuing mailing list, you'll see lots of fairly long listings where they pump out a /16 or two worth of space on a pretty good basis.Great, so now every time we need to request resources the process will take even longer opcorn:
The internet routing table already passed 512K routes, it wasn't so dramatic. The next limit is 1M, there will be much more drama when that limit is hit. A lot of cisco routers will be useless. But it will not be that soon, even with increased growth of small prefixes i think it is atleast 3-4 years away.Oh you bastard I was just about to link that

TL;DR - You no longer have to have a minimum of a /20 SWIP'd to you if you're single homed or a minimum of a /23 if you're multihomed. It means anyone that wants IP space can request it.

Routing table wasn't a big deal at 512K since anyone worried about a table that big was likely also fine using just a default route anyway. There were a few hosts I know of, liquidweb namely, that got side tracked which looks really bad on them.The internet routing table already passed 512K routes, it wasn't so dramatic.

Not quite 10%, I figured they'd get something like a /11 or so.- Microsoft's last request was in May ( http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-104-40-0-0-1.html ) but I suspect they'll be out to request more before the years out (so get ready to kiss 10%+ away when that happens).
Buy a company that doesn't have ARIN's and has a justifible use for a /16.How can I get myself one of them /16s?
I had to give away my first born for the last allocation (sarcasm) they did not ask for receipts. I will send her a text as she is out of the house living on your her own " the ARIN police are coming to take you away"The next problem is that if your burn rate is too fast, ARIN is going to demand proof of hardware invoices that can justify the usage
AT&T got a good chunk earlier in the year as well.And the stock is down to 0.48 /8s left today. AT&T got a /12 yesterday.
That should put them in the ~0.36 range I think? I think we're going to see an incredibly fast burn down on the last of that. Up next, Comcast & Amazon?Charter Communications just got a nice Xmas present - /12 + /14 - over 1.3 million IPs. Interesting that the total counter on ARIN's website didn't update yet to reflect this.
Go back in this thread. I think they had a bet on it.So how much time are you guys giving the last available IPv4s? January? February? March?
