> ARIN, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Canada, many
> Caribbean and North Atlantic islands and the United States,
> announced on 1 July 2015 that it has activated its "Unmet
> Request Policy". This means that ARIN has effectively
> depleted its free pool of IPv4 address space, making it the
> fourth of the world� five RIRs to do so. This leaves
> AFRINIC, the RIR for Africa and the Indian Ocean, as the
> only RIR with an as-yet unrestricted pool of IPv4 from which
> to allocate to its members.
>  
> As of 1 July, ARIN members can now only receive IPv4 space
> if unused IPv4 space is returned to ARIN and is
> redistributed to those on the waiting list, or if they
> qualify for an allocation from the reserved IPv4 space in
> ARIN� �ast /8� which was set aside to facilitate IPv6
> deployment, or via external IPv4 transfer markets. APNIC
> �the RIR for the Asia Pacific Region - was the first RIR
> to exhaust its supply of IPv4 address space back in 2011 and
> the RIPE NCC (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central
> Asia) followed quickly in 2012. LACNIC (Latin America and
> the Caribbean) reached its exhaustion trigger level in June
> 2014.
> 
> IPv6 Deployment Now More Critical Than Ever 
> 
> The five RIRs have worked with their respective communities
> over the last decade to ensure that IPv4 exhaustion makes as
> little impact as possible on the smooth functioning of the
> Internet. As the supply of available IPv4 address space
> becomes critically low, more and more new connections will
> be made over IPv6 as opposed to IPv4. The future of the
> Internet will be over IPv6 and, unless African networks and
> businesses also transition, they risk becoming isolated from
> the global Internet. AFRINIC offers free training on IPv6
> deployment to network engineers, academics and governments
> throughout the region as part of its capacity building
> activities. It also provides an IPv6 test bed for engineers
> to test their deployments and offers information and
> statistics on IPv6 and what IPv4 exhaustion means for the
> local, regional and global Internet.

" 1   J’ai attendu patiemment l’Éternel; et il s’est penché vers moi, et a entendu mon cri.
2   Il m’a fait monter hors du puits de la destruction, hors d’un bourbier fangeux; et il a mis mes pieds sur un roc, il a établi mes pas.
3   Et il a mis dans ma bouche un cantique nouveau, la louange de notre Dieu. Plusieurs le verront, et craindront, et se confieront en l’Éternel. " (Psaumes 40 : 1- 2, 3)
