Dear Colleagues
The information in this announcement is to enable the Internet
community to update network configurations, such as routing filters,
where required.
Today, Friday, 4 February 2011, APNIC received a final /8 IPv4 address
block from IANA and will be making allocations from this range in the
near future:
103/8
Reachability and routability testing of the new prefixes will commence
soon. The daily report will be published at the usual URL:

This is the final allocation by IANA in accordance with the agreed
"Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space".

To mark this milestone in the Internet's history, the NRO held a media
conference where IANA formally handed out the last /8 block to APNIC.
