Now we have reached the last /8 of IPv4 addresses, we have looked at the allocation and assignment rate again. At the same time we also monitored the growth in IPv6 allocations.

One way to determine the denseness of the Internet, or its “interconnectedness”, is to look at the path length between Autonomous Systems (ASes). A while ago we looked at that and also at differences between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Has this changed in the meantime? See our findings below.

The RIPE NCC has been assigning 32-bit Autonomous System Numbers since 2007. In this article we're providing an update about the number of 32-bit ASNs being assigned and how many are visible on the Internet.

... those LIRs that closed. The RIPE NCC now has over 8,000 members. But how many members have closed in the meantime and why?

The RIPE NCC is 20 years old and it now has over 8,000 members. In this article, we drill down a bit more into the composition of our membership: what industry do RIPE NCC members come from and which countries account for the highest numbers of members and IP resources.
“Hello, I wonder if this whole Report would look different today compared to 8 years ago. Maybe there are serious changes in the meantime which would lead to very different results. Regards, Kurt”
Hi Kurt, We are currently working on an updated version. We will announce it as soon as it is ready. Good to hear that there is interest :-) .
“How many ASes are connected to RRs? Thanks.”
Hi Rodrigo, you can find all the RIS peers at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/peerlist/all.shtml
“I need to use iPlane data set to measure the latency between different ASes on the Internet. Can you please let me know how can I download it? I have created my account but then the download link is not working, it is redirecting the same page again. Best”
Dear Shahrooz, you need to click the "Tems and Conditions". Otherwise you won't be able to see the data sets. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
“please help me! How do I know my AS Number.? Thanks.”
Hi Suliman, if you go to https://stat.ripe.net/ you will find "your network" listed under the query field (IP address and AS number).
“The link "real-time streaming capabilities" goes to a 404. I suspect the correct target is https://labs.ripe.net/Members/colin_petrie/updates-to-the-ripe-ncc-routing-information-service”
Thanks for spotting this, Stéphane. The link is fixed now.
“Wonderful work, and thank you very kindly for the graphs. They are exactly what I was looking for. I saw this the day it came out on the blog and have cited it in presentations at least twice already, and will no doubt continue to do so for quite a while. Is this part of a wider publication, or should I keep directing people to this blog post?”
Hi Eireann, many thanks for the feedback. I am happy to hear the information was useful (that's what I was hoping for when I saw Johannes's presentation at the recent TF-CSIRT meeting). The report is part of a wider project ( https://sissden.eu/ ), but for now it might be best to refer back to this blog post as the project is still ongoing.
“Hi, I don't know why I can't find the download links. I click download link under the Data Access and the page turns to https://labs.ripe.net/datarepository/ I login in and have 2 factor authentication and accept the condition of dataset subscribe and nothing changes. Thank you for your help very much.”
Dear Yuying Chen, This has been resolved. I hope you can access the data now. Sorry for this inconvenience.
“hi, I want to ask and for PI address will be able to break cheovek in Russia?”
Dear Eugene, we are not quite sure what you mean. Can you please clarify.
“DENOG was founded way earlier than 2009. I have created the DENOG mailing list in July 2001, and the IRCnet channel #DENOG even preceded that, I think it was 1999 or 2000. Only the meeting gatherings have started much later in 2009. For the sake of this article, assume 2001 as founding year I'd say. :-) Best regards, Daniel (co-founder DENOG)”
Hi Daniel, thanks for clarifying. I changed the date in the table.
“Who is Vint Cert? ;-)”
Oops... fixed :-)
