RIPE NCC Allocating from Last /8 Block
________________________________________________________________________
On 14 September 2012, the RIPE NCC, the RIR for Europe, the Middle East
and parts of Asia began distributing from their last /8 block according
to section 5.6 of "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for
the RIPE NCC Service Region".
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-553
There are now two regions in the world distributing small portions of
IPv4 address space according to community agreed policy. APNIC reached
its last /8 on 15 April 2011 and since then has only delegated 9% of
that block. This means that 91% is still available, and new entrants
will be able to acquire IPv4 address space for quite some time.
Section 5.6 of the RIPE NCC policy allows an LIR a /22 allocation of
addresses only if they have received an IPv6 allocation from the RIPE
NCC or an upstream LIR. No new IPv4 Provider Independant (PI) space will
be assigned.
For more information, see:
https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion/faq
With two regions now delegating from the last /8 block, the urgency for
IPv6 deployment is now more important than ever as IPv6 is the only
long-term solution for the continued growth and stability of the
Internet.
For more information on APNIC's IPv6 deployment support, see:
