IPv4 wealth redistributed

IANA has published its six-monthly review of IPv4 address recoveries and reallocations.

The advice reveals the following data on who got what, illustrated in the table below.

The world's IP-address-handing-out authorities run their own queues with their own rules for dishing out addresses, so the fact some addresses have been released doesn't mean you'll get any.

Or that IPv4 somehow remains viable. So if you really, really must have some IPv4 space or are a NAT fetishist, this is welcome news. For the rest of us, getting on with IPv6 remains as sensible as it has for years. ®
