They are a big holder, that's the secret handshake at ARIN.
I still want to know what they'll use 4 million+ IPv4s for.
Step 1: Obtain IPs with the loosest of justifications
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
Sell or rent the IPs to whoever needs them later.
Yeah, it seemed like it jumped down 0.25 /8 in a matter of a week. There's probably a rush of providers scrambling to get in an IPv4 request before we reach complete exhaustion.
the 0.25 drop was due to the /10 Akamai got. Not because a "rush of providers". A rush of providers grabbing /20's etc (the standard allocation size on average is either a /20 or a /22) wouldn't really budge that number.
How exactly is that eliminating the use of one IPv4 for each of my VPS's? Whether Cloudflare is using up IPv4s and charging me or I am paying and using IPv4's I don't see how you think this is a solution.
Good to know it's not because of "rush of providers".
There is no "standard" allocation size. There are minimum allocation sizes and allocation sizes that are more commonly requested -- but no standard. The size of an allocation is always requested/granted on the basis of justified need.
Standard wasn't the word to use, I mean more like the "average request" over the last few months has been right about there. Sorry for my improper wording.
Cloudflare can use a very small number of IPv4 addresses to act as a CDN for a great number of websites -- kind of similar to shared-hosting.
However I don't think that relying on a certain third-party service is really the way to go. Sure it can help you host your blog on a cheap IPv6-only VPS and have it accessible by IPv4-only users, but this setup does not strike me as "the" solution to anything.
I think what he meant is that those are the most common sizes.
...but I am not talking aboout CDN. I am talking about individual VPS's for individual customers each requiring a single unique static IP that does not change.
Well, what for? If the primary use of a VPS is web server, the need for IPv4 address on the VPS itself can be avoided via the use of CDN as described above. Other needs, like the user's connection via SSH to manage the VPS, can already be satisfied via IPv6, or as LowEndSpirit does it, via a shared IPv4 and port-forwarding of a non-standard SSH port.
Down to 0.92 today. Who got a /12?
RIPE is down to 0,81 /8
104.48.0.0/12 - AT&T Internet Services
104.38.0.0/15 - Pennsylvania State
Biggest assignments from yesterday
@rds100, you can check daily here for all assignments :P

Don't forget the /16 to SONIC
156.30.0.0/16 - SONIC.net
Check your post, I believe you typoed between /15 and /16
.
Same crap. Tons of ips. Fixed
So, RIPE will soon have more than ARIN
If they keep handing them out like they're free, yep.
Don't worry, there is a plan. The whities will steal IP's from the black africans if needed, like they have done throughout history. They have plenty to spare, like their oil, diamonds, etc...
Wtf is this even?
The policy won't change. Community agreed to what to do when entering STAGE4, which is surprisingly the same thing (almost) as stage 3. You'd be lucky to see IPv4 last until September at this rate.
Here's a list of ARIN's recent allocations:
Is this the latest fad? Doing drugs and then posting in Internet forums?
Why does AFRINIC have more IPs left than ARIN?
Please advise why AFRINIC needs these IPs?
Because IANA delegated those IPs to AFRINIC and eventually AFRINIC will need them. Reclaiming AFRINIC's IPs won't help solve the REAL problem, which is that THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH IPv4 ADDRESSES. The only solution to that problem will be IPv6, and that's not going to come soon enough...
