The RIPE NCC is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPE_NCC

The Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. It is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[1]
 
An RIR oversees the allocation and registration of Internet number resources (IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses and Autonomous System (AS) Numbers) in a specific region.

* RIPE according to their own announcement is now working on their last /8 CIDR block of IPv4 IP Address Space:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#IPv4_CIDR_blocks

Their last 16,777,216 hosts including in some cases network id’s, routers big and small, and computing devices (hosts) of all kinds. 16 million counts down rather quickly. Actually once they assign it out to their LIR’s (see their page) it’s gone for them and for anyone else. Of course this doesn’t mean that their Internet goes down … or that anybody gets kicked off … but it does mean that any LIR’s and the ISP’s that they serve (and their customers big and small) after this has to seek an alternate way to get onto the Internet. It’s a siren call. And they basically say that on their web page:

“It is now imperative that all stakeholders deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the continuity of their online operations and the future growth of the Internet.”

From the old original movie “Elizabeth” (and maybe heard it reality?) “The Queen is dead… Long Live the Queen”.

The new Queen (of Internet, IP Networks) is IPv6.

* It won’t be like “the lights go out” in those areas … and it won’t be like that as the IPv4 space runs out in other areas of the world, eventually even the U.S., but it will be announced publically online (will it hit the 6 o’clock news?)

* You would think that everyone worldwide has had plenty of time and plenty of warning about the running out of IPv4 Address Space … but some entities and organizations have dragged their feet. The most notable is in the “Last Mile” (even in the U.S.) which means the connection “drop” down to users premises. But hopefully this is changing, however slowly.

Alan Spicer has been studying and brushing up on related topics towards IPv6 for a couple of years now. So when this “update” (like a software update) hits user equipment in Marine Telecom I will be ready. I have had Freenet6 for a few years (ran IPv6 on domains on my own servers for a couple years) which became Gogo6 … which I still have as a Tunnel onto IPv6 … Recent Internet updates here have us on AT&T’s IPv6 now.

 Alan Spicer Marine Telecom announces … Sail and Motor Yachts you’ve got to have a look at this! Never before has CDMA-EVDO and GSM-HSPA (Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T, T-Mobile [and other worldwide quad band covered 3G providers]) been offered in one box. But get this This is also a Main Internet Router for All of your Internet Connections on a yacht. It can handle Cellular 3G without buying anything else (except for the cellular data service itself and their sim card if needed.) It can handle WiFi Hotspot Internet without buying anything else. And it can take USB 4G cards as well. And allows you to set which Internet connection is priority and which is 2nd, and 3rd, and so on. So if in dock WiFi is best … set it first. If 3G or 4G is your 2nd choice set it second. Set your VSAT or other Satellite high speed Internet system as the 3rd. And then walk away and let it take care of that for you. You can save popular WiFi Hotspots in the system and have it connect to it when it’s available automatically. (Note: Some systems require a manual web page log in to gain access – at some marinas.) ** External marine antennas and related coax cables are not included – best range and speed would require the installation of topside cellular and WiFi antennas on most yachts.

Operates on 110vAC or 12 / 24vDC for ease of powering the system on all sizes of boats.

Put 2 – 3G Sim Cards in – and set a Bandwidth Allowance Monitor (how many Gigabytes?) for the month … and let it switch automatically to your 2nd Sim Card without you have to swap sim cards manually.

Drag and Drop connections easily in the Dashboard page to “disable” them or change their priority in the automatic fail-over.

Marine All In One Internet Communications System (3G x 2, WiFi Hotspot x 1, 4G USB Modem Capable, Satellite CAT5-Ethernet WAN Capable.)

* Built-In 3G Modems (2) – (World-Mode 3G Modems) with GSM (AT&T, T-Mobile) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) both covered!!!!

* Built-In WiFi Radio-Modem-Router – for WiFi Hotspot Internet Access – To share onboard the boat

* 2 Fast Ethernet WAN Ports – for your *other* Internet Systems such as VSAT or other Satellite Systems…

* Electrical Power features:

Device: 10 – 30V DC
 AC Adapter: AC Input 100 – 240V / DC Output 12V
 Terminal Block: 10 – 30V DC

* Built-in Wireless Access Point – for smaller vessels – or the system plugs into a bigger on board network with as many wireless access points as you want to add. The system manages all of your Internet systems and the onboard network from one point. Load Balancing and Fail-over capabilities, GPS Tracking, and more.

+++ Verizon Wireless and Sprint have certified the system for use with their 3G networks. Available now to distributors, system integrators, and others seeking to take advantage of this high-growth market, the system is the first carrier-grade cellular router to feature multiple embedded modems for bandwidth bonding and failover, dramatically increasing both speed and reliability on the go.
 
Built to withstand the most demanding mobile-use conditions, the system operates in temperatures ranging from -40 to 65 °C and features industrial-grade shock resistance. The rugged system’s dual embedded EVDO/HSPA modems and patent-pending bandwidth bonding technology seamlessly fuse multiple Internet connections for stutter-free teleconferencing, HD video delivery, and other bandwidth-intensive mobile applications. In addition to connecting using the system’s embedded cellular modems, users can also employ Wi-Fi, satellite, and other Ethernet- or USB-based Internet connections.
 
Widely deployed in diverse mobile networking roles worldwide, the system is a favorite in applications ranging from industrial telemetry and surveillance to news unit field broadcast and public safety.

In addition to being certified by Verizon Wireless and Sprint, the system is also fully compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, and other GSM/HSPA cellular networks worldwide. This broad-based network support makes the system a compelling option for any enterprise in the market for a complete, multi-environment mobile networking solution.
