Last of the IPv4 Addresses Allocated

“IPv4 is dead. Long Live IPv6.

“Early this morning, the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
(APNIC) announced that it had been allocated two /8 address blocks
from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA ). Those two
blocks, 39/8 and 106/8, were the last unallocated blocks in the
IANA free pool of IPv4 address available to Regional Internet
Registries (RIR). With the allocation, the final days of IPv4 have
moved closer as the number of available addresses that can be
allocated will dwindle.

“”Please be aware, this will be the final allocation made by
IANA under the current framework and will trigger the final
distribution of five /8 blocks, one to each RIR under the agreed
global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 address
space,” APNIC wrote on its website.”
