This week, ARIN trekked north to the wilds to Manhattan for Interop New York. Surrounded by networking gurus and cloud specialists, we were pleased, but hardly surprised, to see that IPv6 awareness has never been higher. Most passersby had already requested an IPv6 address block for testing purposes, and many were fully deploying it across their networks. Major roadblocks appear few and far between, and many organizations were simply waiting for their upstream providers to turn on IPv6 for them, or for their IPv4 allocations to run out. With nothing major getting in the way of IPv6 deployment, many eyes have turned to the dwindling pool of IPv4 remaining in the ARIN region, which, at the time of this posting, lies at a minute 0.66 /8 equivalents: down five percent from the beginning of Interop, and down nearly 50 percent since Interop Las Vegas ended in April of this year.

Read MoreEarlier this month ARIN joined dozens of other organizations on the show floor of Interop Las Vegas 2011! Surrounded by multitudes of enterprise-focused marketing and gimmickry, we were delighted to discover the amount of IPv6 knowledge the Internet community has been soaking up.

Read MoreSince we started the Team ARIN microsite, there have been a few common misconceptions that we have seen repeatedly in news coverage about IPv4 and IPv6. The good news is that there is a ton of great information out there, but at times it can be overwhelming. So we thought we would take a momentRead More
