[AusNOG] IANA Allocated last 2 /8's? The IPocalypse is here?

[Cole, Patrick]

Anyone notice that as we reach the end, we're starting to see a bit of bunker syndrome? Everyone may be stockpiling reserves of IPv4 addresses.  Maybe it's just me but the rate of consumption towards the end seems to have been significantly higher than normal.

for the IPocalypse party at the pub? Is there really anything else you
can do that you shouldn't have already started doing ?
