[arin-announce] IANA IPv4 Address Pool Dips Below 10%

[Member Services]

With the distribution of two /8 blocks to APNIC, the Number Resource 
Organization (NRO) today announced that less than ten percent of 
available IPv4 addresses remain unallocated.

“This is a key milestone in the growth and development of the global 
Internet,” noted Axel Pawlik, Chairman of the NRO. “With less than 10 
percent of the entire IPv4 address range still available for allocation 
to RIRs, it is vital that the Internet community take considered and 
determined action to ensure the global adoption of IPv6. The limited 
IPv4 addresses will not allow us enough resources to achieve the 
ambitions we all hold for global Internet access. The deployment of IPv6 
is a key infrastructure development that will enable the network to 
support the billions of people and devices that will connect in the 
coming years,” added Pawlik.
