That means only AfriNIC has plenty of addresses. If you love IPv6, now is your chance to stampede ARIN and claim all the IPv4 addresses you can. We won’t see any serious upgrading until the ipocalypse is forced onto everyone. Burn, waste and consume those IPv4 addresses, make the future brighter ARIN now has [...]
Update: IPocalypse: What’s Next for The ‘End of the Internet’
16th September 2012 by
On the 20 January 2011, I wrote about the “End of the Internet”. In Sep 2012, we are witnessing the ongoing apathy of IT managers and leaders to even discuss the problem. When it can be avoided, IT leaders will continue to ignore the problem and fail to plan for the future. This week, RIPE [...]

Microsoft Teredo Is a No-Go Area for IPv6.
25th April 2011 by
I’ve talked before about Microsoft Teredo protocol for IPv6 tunneling and called it a bag of crap. Geoff Huston puts some solid information down about Teredo and why it should not be considered. My gut feeling : Teredo = NetBIOS (and we all know how that worked out) but Microsoft continues to develop it’s own proprietary technology and embed it into their products. Geoff Huston has some evidence about how bad it is.
The Importance of Provider Independent IPv6 Addressing
27th January 2011 by
It’s important for people to apply directly to their registry for IPv6 address allocation. You should not get an allocation from your Service Provider.
Why Allocating a /64 Is Not Wasteful and Necessary
23rd January 2011 by
Some discussion on why allocating a /64 is not wasteful
IPv6 – /48 Allocation in /64 Chunks – That’s a Lot of Addresses
21st January 2011 by
I posted yesterday about changes to RFC3177 for IPv6 allocation. I wonder how many have done the maths on this and realised just how many addresses this works out to be. Lets hold hands and work through the maths: Lets say you are allocated a /48 by your favourite RIR. Lets also say you allocate [...]
IPocalypse: What’s Next for the ‘End of the Internet’ ?
20th January 2011 by
So we are waiting for confirmation from IANA, but here is a bit of background.
The IPocalyse Is Nigh – Forced Allocation of IPv4 to RIRs Next Week ?
19th January 2011 by
The whisper is that the last two /8 IP address ranges were today allocated. Since there were seven pools of /8 addresses, this means that we are witnessing the start of the IPocalypse. What’s Happened ? Some time ago, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) established the final process as the IPv4 address pool is exhausted. [...]
IETF IPv6 Address Allocation Policy Being Updated.
12th January 2011 by
IETF is now backtracking on /48 IPv6 address allocation by letting anyone do what the hell they like. Why not ?
