I wonder of those 4 billion how many are really in use? I know I have few blocks of IP address and know I have at least 5 to 10 that are not being used until I get sites setup on them.

Curious to see who this effects in terms of not being able to connect to the web via ISP.

[grumpy]

i still have 6k of them in reserve

It's far worse than that, due to the original segmented design of the class system there's a lot of space that cannot be used (eg multicast blocks) or is underutilised (eg a legacy block of 16 million IPs allocated to a company that's using a few thousand of them)

I think it was 19% actual utilisation that someone calculated recently. Not sure whether that is just blocks that are routed (which could include millions of unused IPs) or whether they also tried to determine whether a machine was actually sitting on the IP.

It's not quite like that (yet), ISPs still have their existing blocks, and regional IP registries still have a small pool of blocks that they can allocate ISPs/webhosts/whatever. In the future those customers will find it difficult or impossible to expand beyond what they already have. Some space may be regained by organisations with excess IP space renumbering into a smaller block, but overall that's pretty much it for IPv4 space that can be *allocated*. End users such as ISP or webhost customers won't suddenly find themselves without an IP, because that's part of a block that has already been allocated to their ISP/webhost.

well, out of the 274 million active hostnames, only ~100mill are active according to netcraft



so what happened to the other 3bill IPs - assigned not to host names and used as raw IPs? Or are host names counted only as the main registed name, and subdomains are used, meaning what some 40 IPs are assigned per domain for subdmains on avg?

I love the confidence in the official announcement, "don't worry, we've known about this for years, and are well prepared for it". All the while, you know behind the scenes they're shitting bricks, thinking, "why are people so fucken stupid?! Almost nobody has adopted IPv6 yet!"

Really, search for web hosts who offer IPv6. There's like 6 of them, or something. There'll probably be a few hundred over the next month, but still...

Right toots.

Zak from Yellow Fiber had posted already on GFY about IPv4 running out scare a week or so back. Not that they had run out that exact day he posted. Nor did I say that. Furthermore the O.P. cited the repost on the information.

A little less with the trolling, a little more with paying attention.

Well, I'm IPv6 ready....

at least my server is and has a /56 class pointed at it, which in ipv6 means how much? Fuck knows how I configure apache for this shit.....
it's all just aaaaa:ddddd:xxxxx:blahblah atm for me. But anyway, my server is ready and DNS is ready, (I'm not) so what do I win?

[borked]

I sale short Ipv6 #s.... hit me up for /8 reservations now.
