[AusNOG] IPocalypse now (?)

My general feeling is that anything that allows a delay in moving to IPv6 is, well, just going to end in more tears later on.

There were at least two proposals for what to do with these.

One to use them as private addresses:

... and another, older one, to make them public:
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fuller-240space-02

Not sure what happened to these but they are both expired. My personal
preference would be to use them as private addresses, as the pain of
making them safe to use as public addresses is perhaps comparable to
switching to IPv6 anyway :)

One question I've been asked is why can't they just release the
reserved 240-254 blocks? The registry implies they're reserved for
multicast but I can't find anything concrete on this.  In practice I
suspect that they're hard-coded into so many IP stacks they're
effectively useless anyway.

Cheer,

No, they haven't. This is one of the few authoritative links:

Sort by the "Status" column to see all of the unallocated blocks in one
go. Then, and only then, will you know for sure.

And would you look at that page now...

Cheers,
Jonny.
