 In the words of Vinton Cerf last week: "We are almost out of IPv4 address
space. I'm a little bit embarrassed about that because I was the guy who
decided that 32 bits was enough for the internet experiment." :)

Hi,

FWIW, APNIC has received two more /8's, triggering the IPv4
endgame scenario (e.g., the last five /8's will shortly get
dealt out, one to each of ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC)

See http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/delegation

Regards,

Joe
