PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 24, 2009 – Dallas, Texas  –

ScandiNode LLC, an IT-security and IPv6 consulting company based in Dallas, TX today announced the new ipv4depletion.com site. The site is an effort to centrally collect and provide information about the subject of IPv4 depletion and stress the urgency of migrating to IPv6.  The site is updated daily and predicts when the different IPv4 address pools will run out. Today’s prediction estimates that the central IANA address pool of IPv4 addresses will be depleted by November 2010.

The site consists of four main parts:

1.   Report – A daily updated report that compares and discusses different IPv4 depletion estimates from around the world.
2.   Tool – An online IPv4 simulation tool where the user can create his/her own IPv4 depletion estimates by inputting assumptions about growth rates in different regions and how policies are implemented. The underlying data is updated daily.
3.   Dashboard – A daily updated dashboard that visualizes key IPv4 depletion and IPv6 measurements.
4.   Blog – A blog about interesting topics around IPv4 depletion and IPv6.

“I created ipv4depletion.com in an effort to create awareness and foster education in the subject of IPv4 depletion.  I hope that the site proves to be a valuable resource to both IT and business professionals. Making the latest information publically available is key to expediting the migration to IPv6,” says Stephan Lagerholm, owner of ScandiNode.

The new site is available at www.ipv4depletion.com
