Re: IPv4 depletion

Well there we have it!

So is anybody hosting a RIR allocation countdown site?? We're
obviously not "out of IPv4 address space" as yet but I have no idea
how long the various RIRs take to allocate a /8. Probably it varies
widely by geographic location. And most probably have space left from
previously allocated blocks, so it'll be interesting to see how things
pan out over the course of the next several months...
