                 ARIN is out of IPv4 addresses.
                 By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555


     ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) is the Agency that
     issues IP addresses for the Northeren American region.

     Last week a last minute run occurred on ARIN's remaining IPv4 address
     space. Last Monday the estimated exhaustion date was 22 July. On
     Wednesday it was 13 July, On Thursday it was 10 July and on Friday it
     was 1 July. As of this morning the largest block available from ARIN
     is a /23. So anyone asking for more than 512 IPv4 adresses will hear
     "sorry we are out". ARIN has not officially announced depletion yet,
     but this is expected any day now. For all intents and purposes ARIN is
     out of IPv4 addresses.

     The well has run dry.

     What it boils down to is that Northern American ISP's will have to
     make do with whatever IPv4 addresses they still have on the shelve.
     Or.. they will have to try to buy some from parties that still have
     address space to spare. The going rate for an IPv4 address on the
     market appears to be $10. It is not unreasonable to expect the price
     to go up in the near future.

     Will it affect Fidonet? In the long run for sure. When an ISP runs
     out of IPv4 space, new customers  will get a globally unique IPv6
     prefix, but regarding IPv4 the following things may happen:

      1) New costomers won't get an IPv4 address. Period.
      2) New costomers will get an IPv4 adress in the private range e.g
         10.0.0.0/8 or the CGNAT range (100.64.0.0/10)
      3) New customers can get a globally unique IPv4 address for an extra
         fee.

     As for existing customers, they may be allowed to keep an existing
     IPv4 address. Or if the ISP goes for option 3, existing customers may
     also have to pay extra or let go of their globally unique address.
     Time will tell.

     If you are put behind a NAT you can't run a server answering to an
     IPv4 address. So if you want to continue with Fidonet over IP as a
     sysop, it has to be over IPv6. Option 3 may not be all that attractive
     as the fee will probably be quite high. Not so high as to be a problem
     for a large or medium sized company, but prohibitively high for most
     indviduals.

     So in the long run Fidonet will have no choice but to go IPv6. How
     about the short run? We will probably not be in trouble in the
     immidiate future. It depends on how fast the internet is growing. In
     Western Europe Internet penetration is high, the majority of
     households has a wide band connection, so there will be limited growth

     in that section. In Eastern Europe it may be different. Plus that
     mobile internet is still booming all over the world. I have had SIM
     cards from different networks for prepaid mobile internet. They all
     stopped issuing globally unique IPv4 addresses several years ago. You
     get an RFC1918 or RFC2860 address. Not much of a problem for me, as I
     do not plan to run mobile servers and a point system works all right
     behind NAT.

     Fidonet may not be affected for a long time. Or maybe some of us will
     be effected quit soon. We just don't know. What we do know is that the
     times that everyone can have a globally unique IPv4 address are over.

     6DWN  The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.

     Notes:

     To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
     one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
     node config).  If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
     (2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

     =================================================================

                 The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

     This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
     the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

     You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you
     don't need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless
     of operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

     Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
     your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
     your job, school or whatever.

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
        quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File
     ----------------------------------|----------------------------------
      From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb
      Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net
      Retractions                *.rtx |  General Fidonet Articles   *.art
      Guest Editorial            *.gue |  Fidonet Current Events     *.cur

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

                 Björn Felten
     Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0
     E-Mail      b @ felten dot se
     Skype file  bfelten

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
     That way I will know to look for it.
