ipv4's last graph

Wed Feb 2 18:43:58 UTC 2011

Note that the ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE lines should all basically level
out to asymptotes after they hit 1 /8 left, due to the "soft run out"
policies in place [1][2][3].  Either that, or just consider arriving
at 1 /8 left as depletion.

Geoff: How are your graphs dealing with these policies?
