IPv4 has finally run out of space. Fortunately, THCNET has been running on IPv6 for awhile. Though as far as stats go, IPv6 traffic accounts for about 0.28 percent of the total hits to the site.

Montevideo, 3 February 2011 ? The Number Resource Organization (NRO) announced today that the free pool of available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. On Monday, January 31, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated two blocks of IPv4 address space to APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific region, which triggered a global policy to allocate the remaining IANA pool equally between the five RIRs. Today IANA allocated those blocks. This means that there are no longer any IPv4 addresses available for allocation from the IANA to the five RIRs.

IANA assigns IPv4 addresses to the RIRs in blocks that equate to 1/256th of the entire IPv4 address space. Each block is referred to as a ?/8″ or ?slash-8″. A global policy agreed on by all five RIR communities and ratified in 2009 by ICANN, the international body responsible for the IANA function, dictated that when the IANA IPv4 free pool reached five remaining /8 blocks, these blocks were to be simultaneously and equally distributed to the five RIRs.

Are you running IPv6 at home or just on the server? Are you using a particular broker or tunnel or something?

Just on the server. Using Hurricane Electric, and some other tunnel provider for redundancy.

This would be impressive if so many addresses were not hopelessly and inefficiently wasted
