[At-Large] IPv4 or what is left of it...

[McTim]

Hi franck,

Whlle we could have a discussion it would be more capacity building than
debate, as others have noted, the final allocations have been made.

Afaik, apnic is still allocating and assigning ipv4.  According to the
global policies developed using the global pdp, each RIR was allocated one
/8, when the IANA pool reached 5. How would you have divided up the pool?

Why do you say "stuck"? Apnic has the most liberal IPv4 transfer policies in
the world.  In any case, there are several economies in asia that are
leading in ipv6 adoption which has led to bleeding edge mobile internet
deployments.

Rgds, McTim

RIPE pool of IPv4 is slowly decreasing, but ARIN pool is barely decreasing.
