Deze middag kwam er een mailtje van RIPE dat ze aan hun laatste /8 begonnen zijn:

[ncc-announce] RIPE NCC Begins to Allocate IPv4 Address Space From the Last /8

Dear colleagues,

On Friday, 14 September 2012, the RIPE NCC, the Regional Internet
Registry (RIR) for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia,
distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space from the available pool.

This means that we are now distributing IPv4 address space to Local
Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8 according to section 5.6 of
"IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC
Service Region".

This section states that an LIR may receive one /22 allocation (1,024
IPv4 addresses), even if they can justify a larger allocation. This /22
allocation will only be made to LIRs if they have already received an
IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC. No new IPv4
Provider Independent (PI) space will be assigned.

This policy can be found online at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-553

Those members with open requests for IPv4 address space will shortly
receive an email regarding the status of their requests.

It is now imperative that all stakeholders deploy IPv6 on their networks
to ensure the continuity of their online operations and the future
growth of the Internet.


Regards,

Axel Pawlik

Managing Director
RIPE NCC

Eigenlijk is het nu ook hoogtijd dat Belgacom en Telenet & andere isp's ipv6 gaan beginnen aanbieden in Dual Stack hoe langer dual stack hoe makkelijker de migratie ooit.
