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 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.
Guido van Rossum sent me an email saying: "I'm glad you're taking up this subject. I like that you wrote up some of the negative responses you received -- I've seen those too, and I think it's pretty normal to see a range of responses. But that doesn't mean you can't make progress! We can't fix our biases if we're not aware of them, and sometime you have to start by over-compensating just to end up in the right place eventually."
“Never heard of a DNS query type AAA before. Is that IPv5 protocol?”

“Where can I find the IPv4 space amount that RIPE hold ?”
Yi, If you go to this page https://labs.ripe.net/statistics/?tags=ipv4 and scroll all the way to the bottom, you will see the number of remaining IPv4 addresses. If you click on the title of the graph, you wil see another pge with more information about the RIPE NCC's available IPv4 address pool. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
