===========================

Status of Available IPv4 Address

In the recent Malaysia Network Operators Group (MyNOG), APNIC presented 
that, as of Jan 2012, out of the last /8, 901blocks of /22 have been 
allocated. This means that we are left with 78% of the /22 blocks. Japan 
and China are the main economies with the most IPv4 address request.

Seriously, a /22 has 1,000 plus IP addresses which is insufficient to 
run a ISP network. Unless you will like to buy IPv4 address at USD4 per 
address (http://www.tradeipv4.com/), the drive to deploy IPv6 has never 
been more urgent.


World IPv6 Launch

The date is fixed on 6 June 2012.On this day, participants will turn on 
IPv6 permanently. This is probably the last major shove from the industry.

SGIX is participating (sgix.speedtest.net) , anyone else from Singapore?
