ARIN IPv4 Addresses Run Out Tomorrow

Posted by timothy on from the good-seats-still-available dept.

jcomeau_ictx provided that teaser of a headline, but writes: Not really. But the countdown at tunnelbroker.net should go to zero sometime tomorrow around noon, considering it's at 45,107 as I write this, it's counting down about one address every two seconds, and there are 86,400 seconds per day. Just happened to notice it today. Might be worth a little celebration at every NOC and IT enterprise tomorrow.

    I thought they ran out last year, until I saw the report of them running out last month.

    I thought they ran out last month, until I saw the report of them running out last week.

    I though they ran out last week, now I see they'll run out tomorrow.

    Perhaps someone should start reporting facts rather than what ever you call all these reports.
