Re: updated IP Address Utilization Chart
Thanks, it looks sharp. I recommend you post it to nanog@merit.edu to publicize the change... -a Thus spake Hans-Werner Braun (hwb@nlanr.net) on or about Thu, May 27, 1999 at 04:08:49PM -0700:
Ok, I did a little sequel. Check out:

Hi Hans,
I've just now downloaded nnpack.pl, I'll take a look, thanks alot.

Hi Hans,
Would it be possible to get an updated Global Internet Address Occupancy chart from you, or perhaps the code to make one ourselves?
Thanks.

I can probably create one, but all the software and data files are online and publicly available.

Pretty interesting stuff. By no means should we squander address space, but the delta between then and now is not particularly alarming. -a Thus spake Alan Hannan (alan@globalcenter.net) on or about Thu, May 27, 1999 at 11:42:34PM -0700:

Fine, this study is interesting on some fronts. Though, "actively used address space" is the key. I'd say this study is largely irrelevant, as there are few who would argue that previously allocated space which is either a) not used, or b) used extremely inefficiently, is the true problem facing ipv4.

Mostly interesting in that it predicts the future of ANY addressing scheme we choose to deploy.

exactly. This same problem is facing IPv6 as well (although it won't be as big a problem as soon) I can hear it now (in 2010) We need to start implementing IPv16 NOW! We are almost out of address space! Paul Flores Williams
