Address allocation stats

Would anyone have a pointer for recent v4 address allocation statistics?
I'm aware of the Frank's [solensky@ftp.com] presentation material
which he talked about in Los Angeles, but I was looking for something
a bit more recent, and perhaps HTML'ized. Raw figures welcome.

For what its worth, links to Frank's .ps files are located at:

Thanks,

I've just updated the graphs for the data through the end of May.
These'll be the ones I'll be bringing to Montreal and are very
similar to the ones from LA -- assuming no other changes.

The postscript files can also be copied from:
  ftp://research.ftp.com/pub/cidr/current

If I get a chance this week, I'll also look for a .ps->.gif converter..

You've just found one. Me. :wink:

Seriously, you need GhostScript 2.6.1 with the following
modification to gdevgif.c:

/* #define TABLE_SIZE 5123 /* this is max for 12-bit codes */
#define TABLE_SIZE 5119 /* this is max for 12-bit codes (and prime) */

5123 is nice, but not prime, and this will in certain
circumstances produce an infinite CPU-consuming loop.

Second, uncomment the "30000 VM?" test in the PS files.

Third you will need the ps-to-gif script (a one-liner in the
shell given the right gs) and the landscape.ps which is available
together with the already converted (gif) files in

  ftp://trane.uninett.no/tmp/pier/

Note that a newer version of GhostScript won't do, since they
removed the GIF driver in subsequent versions to 2.6.1 (you
probably know why...).

I'm at the IPv6 UNH bake-off this week and only have direct
access to a portable with Win 95 & WfW 3.11 on it so I'll
get to this right after the IETF..
