Yes, you heard me. IANA has only 2% of all IPv4 addresses left to hand out. In terms of /8 this is 7. Of these 7, five will be automatically handed out to the 5 regional registries meaning there are really only 2 /8s left up for grabs and rumor has it these will go early next year making and end to it all.
I just wonder how much media beat up it will get?
And the other burning question, are you IPv6 ready will soon be on everyones lips. I at least know my work is ready but still I haven't got native IPv6 yet and I've no idea about my home or mobile operators as to wether they will have IPv6 available anytime soon.
Even major content is still shy about IPv6, come on Google, it's time to get out from behind your Google over IPv6 program and offer native IPv6 to anyone who asks without some prior arrangement. It's not helping.
If you're worried about the .01% of people who might have an issue, make sure you make available lots of resources on how to fix their connectivity!!
Anyway, that's my IPv6 rant for today.
Hope you enjoyed!
