Projection of consumption of Remaining RIR Address Pools
Figure 1 - Address Pool Status
This allocated number pool is managed by the Regional Internet
Registries, (RIRs) and the breakdown of IANA allocated address
blocks to each of the RIRs is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Address allocations to RIRs
Any individual IPv4 address can be in any one of five states:
●reserved for special use, or
●part of the IANA unallocated
address pool,
●part of the unassigned pool held by an RIR,
●assigned to an end user entity but not advertised in the routing
system, or
●assigned and advertised in BGP.
The current
totals of IP addresses according to this set of states is shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3 - Address Pools by State
This status can be further categorized per RIR, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Address Pools by RIR by State
Another view of the address state pools is by grouping the address
space into a sequence of /8s, and looking at state sub totals within
each /8 address block. The following view shows the current status
of the IPv4 address space as 256 /8 columns each describing a pool
of 16,777,216 addresses.

Figure 6 - Cumulative IANA Address allocations
This series can be further broken down by RIR.

This data can be further categorized by RIR.

The more recent data from this series is shown in Figure 10a.

Figure 16 - IPv4 Address Pool Status
The more recent section of these series is indicated in Figure 17.
The approach used here is to take a recent sequence of data as the
baseline for a predictive model.
