Europe officially runs out of IPv4 addresses
From http://arstechnica.com/information-t...pv4-addresses/
Quote:
Earlier today, the RIPE NCC (Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre) announced it is down to its last "/8" worth of IPv4 addresses. This means that it is no longer possible to obtain new IPv4 addresses in Europe, the former USSR, or the Middle East, with one small exception: every network operator that is a "RIPE member" or "local Internet registry" (LIR) can obtain one final block of 1024 IPv4 addresses. To fulfill these requests, the RIPE NCC is keeping that last /8, which contains 16.8 million addresses, in reserve.
