On 30 November, 2010, IANA allocated two /8 blocks each to ARIN and RIPE NCC. This leaves only seven /8s remaining in the IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses, or 2.73% of the total.

There are now two /8 blocks of IPv4 that remain to be distributed along the normal method. When the IANA free pool is reduced to five /8 blocks, they will be simultaneously distributed to the five RIRS in accordance with global policy.

At this stage in IPv4 exhaustion with so little space remaining, APNIC emphasizes the importance of IPv6 adoption and deployment across the Asia Pacific region.

It is easier than ever to receive an IPv6 allocation with Kickstart IPv6. If you have any questions, please contact the APNIC Helpdesk.
