YU domain becomes history

.YU domain stopped functioning at noon today, in accordance with the decision of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Saying goodbye to the .YU domain, which became history, like other aspects of ex Yugoslavia, has been announced since March 2008. Just to remind you‑The official registration of the .RS domain started on March 10th, 2008. During the following six months, until September 10th 2008, the owners of the .YU domain were given priority to register the aforementioned domain with the .RS ending. This right was used by 19,372 companies in total. Upon finishing the transition from .YU to .RS domain, approximately 4000 users of the .YU domain prolonged the lifespan of their .YU domains until March 30th, 2010. As of today noon, the remaining 4000 YU domains are no longer visible online. Today at 6pm, Museum of Yugoslav History will be hosting the “farewell party” to the .YU domain. Effective today, the .YU domain becomes a part of the museum.

Less than 10 percent of available IPv4 addresses left

The IPv4 protocol enabled the allocation of more than four billion IP addresses, which seemed to be more than enough at the moment it occurred. ICANN has informed the public that approximately 10 percent of IP (about 400 million) addresses are still available, meaning they are still not allocated. These addresses are expected to be allocated in the following two years. Since all allocated addresses are still not used, the actual lack of IPv4 addresses will not be noticed in the near future. Because there are not many IPV4 addresses left, it is clear that the migration to the IPv6 addressing system needs to be planned. This system will enable the registration of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 addresses compared to 4294967296 addresses within the IPv4 protocol. Additional information on the IPv6 protocol is available here.
