[AusNOG] /20 Available

[Michael Biber]

The next unallocated IP number is 10, 0-9 having been allocated. So if
nothing else comes along, the next Internet Protocol variant will be
IPv10...or perhaps IPva.
Re Mark's comment +1.

Back in 1995 the projections on the consumption graphs did indicate about 2
years.  Two things happened.  CIDR got deployed and NAT usage increased
dramatically.

Once the consumption graphs settled down we saw 1-2 decades in 2001 as the
estimate and after that continually improving estimates.
