[ipv6-wg] IPv4 reaches a milestone: 365 days left

Hi Ahmed,


I noticed that a number of websites that gather information about the
IPv4 depletion seams to indicate quite an increase in ipv4 consumation-rate.

But sofar I have not found any information on the reason for this.


Do you have any ideas on this?

Just the economy taking steam again? Normal groth in a number of big
markets (especially China)?
Or something else? Has the "big final rush" started?

Or both?



Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
