NANOGers -
ARIN's regional IPv4 free pool has reached the equivalent of one /8 of I=
Pv4 space,
which means we are approaching runout of IPv4 space availability in this=
region.
(See attached announcement from ARIN regarding occurrence of this event)
There are some changes to processing of requests as we enter this final =
phase,
and obviously service providers ought to be thinking about IPv6-based se=
rvices,
if not already in deployment.
FYI,

ARIN is down to its final /8 of available space in its inventory and has mo=
ved into Phase Four of its IPv4 Countdown Plan. All IPv4 requests are now s=
ubject to Countdown Plan processes, so please review the following details =
carefully.
All IPv4 requests will be processed on a "First in, First out" basis, and a=
ll requests of any size will be subject to team review, and requests for /1=
5 or larger will require department director approval. ARIN's resource anal=
ysts will respond to tickets as they appear chronologically in the queue. E=
ach ticket response is treated as an individual transaction, so the complet=
ion time of a single request may vary based on customer response times and =
the number of requests waiting in the queue. Because each correspondence wi=
ll be processed in sequence, it is possible that response times may exceed =
our usual two-day turnaround.
The hold period for returned, reclaimed, and revoked blocks is now reduced =
to 60 days. All returned, revoked, and reclaimed IPv4 address space will go=
back into the available pool when the 60 day period has expired. Staff wil=
l continue to check routing/filtering on space being reissued and will noti=
fy recipients if there are issues.
When a request is approved, the recipient will have 60 days to complete pay=
ment and/or an RSA. On the 61st day, the address space will be released bac=
k to the available pool if payment and RSA are not completed.
We encourage you to visit the IPv4 Countdown Phase Four page at:
https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html
ARIN may experience situations where it can no longer fulfill qualifying IP=
v4 requests due to a lack of inventory of the desired block size. At that t=
ime, the requester may opt to accept the largest available block size or th=
ey may ask to be placed on the Waiting List for Unmet Requests. Full detail=
s about this process are available at:
https://www.arin.net/resources/request/waiting_list.html
Please contact hostmaster@arin.net or our Help Desk +1.703.227.0660 if you =
have questions about these procedural changes.
