Nathan,<div><br></div><div>You are absolutely correct.</div><div><br></div><div>On Friday the 3rd of February 2011 the last /8 (103/8) was allocated from IANA to APNIC.</div><div><br></div><div><div>On 15th of April, 2011 APNIC entered its /8, triggering the final /8 policy.</div>

<div><br></div><div>See the press release: <a href="http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/final-8">http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/final-8</a><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>We are now in Stage 3 - <a href="http://www.apnic.net/community/ipv4-exhaustion/exhaustion-and-network-operators">http://www.apnic.net/community/ipv4-exhaustion/exhaustion-and-network-operators</a><br>

<div><br></div></div><div>-<br></div><div><br></div><div>The final /8 basically says that all current APNIC members can receive UP TO a maximum of a /22.<br></div><div><br></div><div>NEW members may also receive (up to a) /22 of IPv4, but it is the first and last allocation they will receive.</div>

<div><br></div><div>There are thousands of /22's available for new members, so it will take a while for those to dry up - but it will run out at some point.</div><div><br></div><div>So, if you received an allocation from APNIC on or after the 15th of April 2011, then you are ineligible to receive any more IPv4 (unless you somehow got a /23 and want to get another /23).</div>

<div><br></div><div>Personally I am quite amused that the internet community doesn't realise what has happened - a year ago.  This is why Ausnog now has threads with people looking to buy IPv4.</div><div><br></div><div>

One of the key issues is that people are extremely slow in migrating or planning to migrate their networks to IPv6.  They biggest problem being that users don't know about it, and indeed should they even care?</div><div>

<br></div><div>The way I see it will happen....</div><div><br></div><div>Actually, because this is likely to start a discussion, I will post it separately.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
