    IPv6 Update

     

    * IANA IPv4 Exhaustion
     
    At a ceremony held on 3 February, 2011 the Internet Assigned 
    Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated the remaining last five /8s of 
    IPv4 address space to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in 
    accordance with the Global Policy for the Allocation of the 
    Remaining IPv4 Address Space. With this action, the free pool of 
    available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. To read the full 
    text of this announcement please go to:
     
    http://www.nro.net/news/ipv4-free-pool-depleted 
     
    * World IPv6 Day
     
    Facebook, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), websites 
    with more than one billion combined visits each day, are joining 
    major content delivery networks Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM) and 
    Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW), and the Internet Society, for 
    the first global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6. 
    On June 8, 2011, dubbed World IPv6 Day, participants will enable 
    IPv6 on their main services for 24 hours.  Cisco, Juniper, 
    Hurricane Electric, and Bing have also announced their 
    participation.

    Partners and Managers of Interconnected Networks about World IPv6 
    Day.

    At Hurricane Electric, every day is an IPv6 day.
     
    * IPv6 Deployment Growth 
    The global IPv6 routing table has passed 4000 IPv6 prefixes.
     
    Of the 36820 networks in the world running BGP, the number running 
    IPv6 has increased to 3107, or 8.4 percent.
