PS IPv6 sucks.
- jcranmer 9y agoThe IANA blocks were exhausted in January 2011. All of the RIRs save AFRINIC exhausted their internal allocation pools since then: APNIC in April 2011, RIPE September 2012, LACNIC June 2014, and ARIN September 2015 (although note that the definition of "exhaustion" differs from RIR to RIR--ARIN in particularly relied on a truly-bone-dry definition whereas APNIC claimed exhaustion when they had less then a full /8 in their pool). As of right now, ARIN appears to have exactly 0 IPv4 addresses--they can't even give out a block of 256 IPv4 addresses to someone who asks for it. All they can do is put you on a waiting list until someone else agrees to give up their IPv4 address space. Some people have been waiting since July 2015.
