Everyone here understands that we haven't actually used ALL the available IP addresses. This just means that ISPs can't go to ICANN for more numbers. Whoever your ISP is must simply be more efficient in reclaiming their IP addys.

We've not used up all the available IP addresses yet. IANA just assigned the last few blocks to the various RIRs. The allocation has been fixed for ages now and was triggered by APNIC requesting a block which left 5 blocks for the 5 RIRs.

Existing thread about this anyway

NAT will keep us all going for years to come

Although I must admit IPv6 is cool and thanks to the testing requirements of the ROUTE exam I am learning it quickly
