[kictanet] Fw: Last 5 /8s distributed (read, last block of IP version 4s)

[Walubengo J]

Adiel,

indeed this is quite a historic moment - that the LAST block of numbers used by the current internet have just been distributed to the five regional internet registries does signal the eminent end of an era (IPv4)  and should entrench the beginning of an even more exciting phase of the Internet (IPv6).

Dear Colleagues,
At a ceremony taking place today in Miami (http://www.nro.net/news/icann-nro-live-stream) the last /8s from the IANA IPv4 pool have been distributed to the RIRs and AfriNIC got 102 /8. The rest has been allocated as followed:
103/8   APNIC      2011-02   whois.apnic.net     ALLOCATED	
104/8   ARIN       2011-02   whois.arin.net      ALLOCATED	
179/8   LACNIC     2011-02   whois.lacnic.net    ALLOCATED	
185/8   RIPE NCC   2011-02   whois.ripe.net      ALLOCATED
You can still follow live the press conference currently going one right now.
The central IPv4 pool is gone. Let look at IPv6 the protocol that will support the next generation of the Internet.
Thanks.______________________________________________________________________Adiel A. Akplogan                         Tel. +230 403 51 00Chief Executive Officer, AfriNIC          Fax: +230 466 67 58adiel at afrinic.net - www.afrinic.net       sip: adiel at voip.afrinic.net
