As discussed at ARIN XXIX, please begin regular publication (on the
ARIN website) of the distribution of netblock sizes within the
remaining ARIN free pool. For example, the number of remaining
contiguous /8's, /9's, /10's, etc. While real-time updates based on
issued space would be ideal, a static page updated at least weekly
would be sufficient.<span style="font-family:

ARIN will begin publishing the total available IPv4 address blocks
by prefix size in the existing daily counter. The software already
exists, but will need some adjustments in order to make this data
publicly available. We should be able to get this done and published
within the next thirty days.<br>
<br>
We will close this suggestion when the information has been added to
the counter page.<br>
