Today, at 15:35, we made our final /22 IPv4 allocation from the last remaining addresses in our available pool. We have now run out of IPv4 addresses.
Read our full announcement here:
In the picture, the Registration Services team at the RIPE NCC
Today we allocated the last of our contiguous /22 IPv4 address blocks. We still have roughly 1 million addresses available, in the form of /23s and /24s, and we will continue making /22-equivalent allocations made up of these smaller blocks.
We are investigating the compromise of a RIPE NCC Access account. Access has been restored to the legitimate account holder. If you believe that your account has been affected, please report it to security
