Thanks for the kind words John. As well as a least squares curve fit to the historical data I've been using a form of variance analysis that looks at the block sizes being allocated by the registry over the past 12 months, and calculates the relative probability that on any day ARIN will allocate another block of that size. I run this model using a random seed to drive the probability factors and generate 100,000 individual outcomes, and plot the end data across all these runs of the model. The result is at http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/plotvar.png Currently the data is pointing to ARIN exhausting its address pool in early March 2015, which coincides with another small round of IANA handout from their recovered pool. There is a small probability that the ARIN IPv4 pool will not last past December 2014, and equally a small probability that it will last until mid 2015, and the most likely outcome is runout around the March 2015 timeframe. regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
