Unallocated pool of IPv4 addresses drops below 5%

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear colleagues,

The Number Resource Organization (NRO) today announced that less than 
five percent of the world’s IPv4 addresses remain unallocated.

This is a major milestone in the life of the Internet and means that 
allocation of the last blocks of IPv4 to the Regional Internet 
Registries (RIRs) is imminent. It is critical that all Internet 
stakeholders take definitive action now to ensure the timely adoption of 
IPv6.

The press release issued by the NRO can be found at:

Information about IPv6 can be found on the IPv6 Act Now website:

Information about obtaining an IPv6 allocation from the RIPE NCC can be
