Yesterday was another pretty good day for IPv4 allocations at ARIN.  The large allocations made yesterday are as follows:

Microsoft Corporation – /13
Charter Communications – /17
FranTech Solutions – /18
Time Warner Cable Internet LLC – /18
Telspirion – /20
Metro Communications Company Inc – /21
Wisconsin CyberLynk Network Inc – /21
Foren Data Inc – /22
ISPrime Inc – /22
United Telephone Association Inc – /22
California Internet Solutions Inc – /22

In addition, there were two /24 blocks allocated.

(As an aside, I note that a block of /32 IPv6 was returned yesterday – that can’t be a common occurrence!)

Also of interest today is the news that there are now no longer any contiguous blocks of size /11 to /14 inclusive left, so any requests larger than a /15 will have to be dealt with either by splitting up the /9 or /10 or allocating them from a series of smaller blocks.

At the time of writing, ARIN’s counter is now showing 0.88 /8s left, which means just this week alone around 0.12 /8s have been allocated.  If we keep going like this ARIN is going to be out of IPv4 in weeks.

More days like this please!
