The IPv4 Depletion site

China Unicom Shandong province network allocated a /11 or 2 million addresses from APNIC recently. As always with these big allocations, they show up like a saw tooth in the ipv4depletion report. The allocation bounced the IANA depletion date about 15 days earlier. APNIC got 2 blocks from IANA in November; however most of those addresses are now already used up. We can soon expect APNIC to request another 2x /8.

(my simulation suggest that they will get another 2x/8 allocated by Feb-22, perhaps a little bit later as the RIRs tend to wait longer than the policy stipulates before they request more address space).
