Yesterday the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) announced it had assigned the remaining blocks of free IPv4 addresses to the Regional Internet Registries. And, at a press conference this Thursday, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) will be making a significant announcement about the global transition to IPv6.
Predictions are that it will take three to seven months for the registries to distribute the remaining IPv4 addresses to carriers. The replacement is the IPv6 format, which exponentially increases the available supply of addresses. It also means big changes for every sector of the communications industry, including enterprises.
