Life continues as usual through January and February. IPv6 deployment increases, maybe another country has their largest ISP roll out IPv6. IPv6 […]

Geoff Huston shows excellent charts of RIR run rates, and his predictions of runout are the standard for comparison. He includes some additional allocations from IANA in his calculations, and shows a probability of runout for […]

But I think everybody ought to be able to do their own analysis. I’ve also recent run the same kind of data for LACNIC. […]
