So what exactly is the "IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space"? Today's news sounds almost exactly like February 2011 when the IANA announced that it finally allocated the last remaining blocks: http://www.nro.net/news/ipv4-free-pool-depleted http://www.nro.net/news/ipv4-free-pool-depleted
- wmf 12y agoAFAIK some people gave space back to IANA and now even that is running out.

- danyork 12y agoThe announcement in Feb 2011 was that IANA had allocated the last IPv4 address blocks from the planned allocations. IANA (ICANN) and the RIRs then worked to recover some blocks of unused IPv4 addresses. These became the "recovered IPv4 pool" and the agreement was that allocations from this pool would begin once one of the RIRs reached the last /9 of their available IPv4 address space. LACNIC hit that mark and triggered ICANN's policy to start allocating out of this recovered address space pool. The NRO has an announcement up about this, too: http://www.nro.net/news/iana-allocates-recovered-ipv4-addresses-to-rirs http://www.nro.net/news/iana-allocates-recovered-ipv4-addres... Basically, after this recovered pool of IPv4 addresses is allocated by IANA, there aren't any more IPv4 addresses to give out.
