Not that I disagree with what they are trying to achieve here, but the math here is a bit iffy, depending on what you consider as "available".<br><br>Personally I'd consider the "available" address to be 1/8 through 223/8, probably excluding 127/8, and possibly even excluding the various RFC1918 blocks.<br>
<br>At most that gives 223 /8's, probably closer to 221.<br><br>Based on <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml">http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml</a>, there are a total of 24 /8's still unallocated by IANA. Even then it's a matter of who's perspective you look at - 1/8 and 27/8 are "allocated" from IANA's perspective, but I'm presuming they are completely unallocated from APNIC's perspective.<br>
<br>So IMHO we're not down to 10% yet, but of course to a certain extent the difference between 10% and even 15% isn't that significant...<br><br> Scott.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 11:10 PM, Elly Tawhai <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elly@apnic.net">elly@apnic.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

AMSTERDAM - The Number Resource Organization (NRO), the official<br>
representative of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) that<br>
oversee the allocation of all Internet number resources, announced today<br>
that less than 10 percent of available IPv4 addresses remain<br>
unallocated. This small pool of existing IP addresses marks a critical<br>
moment in IPv4 address exhaustion, ultimately impacting the future<br>
network operations of all businesses and organizations around the globe.<br><br></div></div></blockquote></div>
