Late last year, ARIN officially joined the world of social media, launching a Twitter account, a Facebook account, and a YouTube channel.

Read MoreAt Team ARIN we like to bang the IPv6 adoption tambourine. We’re happy to tell you all about the issues related to IPv4 depletion and provide the information you need to understand about preparing to transition to IPv6 addressing. Over at our “official” website, ARIN staff can help you with all your Internet number resourceRead More
Read MoreTeam ARIN has been talking a lot about IPv6, why you need it, how to get it, and how to deploy it — but what about IPv4?

There’s the calendar of events,Read More
Read MoreGetting Internet number resources like IPv4 and IPv6 address space and ASNs is a relatively simple and straightforward process. The official request forms and technical information are on the ARIN website at https://www.arin.net/resources/, but this will give you a brief introduction to how the process works. Step 1: Review the resource requirements in ARIN’s NumberRead More
Read MoreWe started hearing about IPv4 depletion in the mid-1990s, when distribution mechanisms and classful addressing made it a legitimate concern. Then the IETF did three significant things to ensure sustainable growth on the Internet: Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) – This allowed variable length subnet addressing, moving away from only three standard block sizes and makingRead More
