The Great NRH Event and the Day IPv4 Allocation Officially Ended
What the heck is a Great NRH? January 12th, 2011: The earth is now in a different spot in relation to the sun than it has been for thousands of years, potentially changing your astrological sign. Nothing happens, but people panic anyway. Well, okay not really panic, but they do quasi-panic and celebrate the Great, “Nothing Really Happened” (NRH) by bringing back the 13th sign from the Babylonians called, “Ophiuchus”. January 28th, 2011, Cairo, Egypt: Civil unrest erupts so to the point that the country actually pulls down the area’s...

Did you hear about this? If you’re in the IT field, and you’re not dead, then yes, this is not news, but sometimes there is new news about the old news! Take a look at the counter on the right, created by Hurricane Electric (the largest IPv6 ISP in the world). They are telling us that we only have about 20 day’s worth of IPv4 addresses to hand out. Is this actually true or just a new Y2k marketing-type scam? The answer is “TRUE!”. Let me explain…. Yes, it’s true that IPv4 has a very limited shelf life and the expiration date is...

Okay… Stop me if you’ve heard this before: We only have 6% of the world’s supply of IPv4 address left to hand out and if we don’t do something really fast… (sounds of Todd screeching to a halt!) Phew…Thanks for stopping me. This just isn’t breaking news anymore, and it’s becoming a pretty tired topic being discussed to death in the ever-growing number of tech blogs that interestingly, are just now starting to bring it up. I’ve gotta say, cheers mates… it’s about time! I mean really, where have they been? I’ve only been...

Did you hear about this? Probably not, so here it is… Google’s YouTube IPv6 traffic increased 30% last week. This intel comes to us from one of the world’s largest IPv6 ISP’s—the venerable Hurricane Electric in Fremont, Ca—whose own IPv6 traffic has already doubled this year. Just yesterday, Hurricane Electric actually claimed to be the world’s largest IPv6 ISP! Meanwhile, across the country on the East Coast, Comcast is the IPv6 Big Dog, and is already rolling out IPv6 to test subscribers in Philadelphia of all places. And...

I just don’t usually go on and on and blog about the same subject three times because obsessing is something we should all avoid. I hate being bored and don’t want you to be either. Especially when it comes to talking about technology — you know I like to mix it up and keep it interesting, right? The thing is, lately it seems like everyone has been shooting me chatter about this subject and it would be wrong to ignore that. Plus, something new and cool has popped up that justifies a three-blog post. Actually, if things keep going the way...
