[AusNOG] IPocalypse now (?)

[Craig Meyers]

I count 5 unallocated.

Excuse my newbie-ness but does that mean the auto-allocate event now
occurs?

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.

The various IPv4 exhaustion meters are based on extrapolating the date
of previous allocations. Given the extremely small number of allocations
left, they are effectively meaningless from now until the time that the
remaining /8s are allocated.
