Hi,

The IANA IPv4 registry has been updated to reflect the allocation
of four /8 IPv4 blocks to ARIN and RIPE NCC in November 2010: 5/8,
23/8, 37/8 and 100/8. You can find the IANA IPv4 registry at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.txt

The complete list of IPv4 /8s allocated so far this year is:

1/8
5/8
14/8
23/8
27/8
31/8
36/8
37/8
42/8
49/8
50/8
100/8
101/8
105/8
107/8
176/8
177/8
181/8
223/8

Please update your filters as appropriate.

The IANA free pool contains 7 unallocated unicast IPv4 /8s.

96 days left Martin? Don't think we'll make it past January?

I doubt whether or not there are more than 60 days left for the IANA pool.
The number of addresses that remain for normal allocation happens to
be identical
to the approximate allocation size of a RIR request. Surely APNIC
will request 2 more /8s
before March, 2011, particularly if IP address demands continue to
be heightened, APNIC's
remaining pool can drop below their threshold in December.

If they get 2 /8s, then , only 5 remain, the final set of /8s where
one is reserved for each RIR.

I wonder if the makers that VPN software program making unofficial
use of 5.0.0.0/8
will go fix their software now.

"5/8 might never be allocated, because they are reserved, and 'we
can always go pick another reserved /8'" are no longer excuses
by any stretch of the imagination.

Actually pretty useful for those who can't (won't) purchase gear to do it.
I use it..
