    On April 19-22 2026 the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) convenes its 57th Public Policy and Members Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. This semi-annual forum is an opportunity for the Internet community to discuss proposed policies for Internet number resource management, hear organizational reports, and network with industry peers. ARIN provides live transcri

  2. @tschaefer i do ipv4 only for lack of complexity sake but i understand we are running out of addresses. maybe i just don't understand or appreciate the real appeal of ipv6 #arin #name rez #sdr #hosts #bind #unbound

    Full confession: I run IPv4-only at home purely for simplicity. I get the address scarcity issue, but maybe I just don't see the real appeal yet.

    The Core Appeal of IPv6: It's not just more addresses—it's about reclaiming end-to-end connectivity. No NAT, no port forwarding hassles. Every device gets a globally reachable IP.

    For DNS/Naming (like #BIND/#Unbound): It eliminates the need for ugly NAT reflection/"hairpinning" to access internal services from your LAN. The host just works, internally and externally.

    For SDR/Hosting: Imagine running an SDR server or a personal host—you can give it a static /64 prefix and actually reach it without wrestling with UPnP or carrier-grade NAT.

    The Complexity Trade-off: You're right, dual-stack is complex. But the long-term play is IPv6-only with DNS64/NAT64 to handle legacy IPv4 traffic. That's actually less complexity than maintaining two parallel stacks forever.

    #ARIN Reality: They're essentially out of IPv4. If you need more than a tiny allocation, v6 is the only path forward."

  3. Come on, just a couple more #ASPA objects! We can get them today!

    If you have ASes in #RIPE or #ARIN, go to your portal and issue them!

  4. We've added an Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) for our ASN (401720) which we operate many of our core services on.

  5. 🚨 Behold, the thrilling #saga of ARIN's #epic #battle with a "misissuance error"! Apparently, the internet's gatekeepers had a *minor oopsie* while distributing numbers, leading to an incident report that could lull insomniacs to sleep. 🙄 Meanwhile, the rest of us continue to live in blissful ignorance of the arcane magic behind our #IP addresses. 🌐💤

  6. Looks like ARIN has awarded a grant for the "IPv6 Test Pod" project.

    "The broader impact of the project is to prepare the world for operating without IPv4."

  7. Dear mastodon. I am looking for a /48 IPv6 prefix from ARIN which also has their RPKI signing in place. I would announce this prefix from my ASN. (215855). I’m ofc willing to pay for it. I’ve done everything I can to get my RIPE range in order for geolocation but some services (looking at you ESPN) can’t get their stuff together. #arin #ripe #bgp #homelab
