is running out of IP addresses unless it makes the switch to IPv6.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center, under the
current allocation speed, China's IPv4 address resources can only meet the demand of 830 more days
and if no proper measures are taken by then, new Chinese netizens will
not be able to gain normal access to the Internet. Li Kai, director in
charge of the IP business for CNNIC's international department, says
that if a netizen wants to get access to the Internet, an IP address
will be necessary to analyze the domain name and view the pages. At
present, most of the networks in China use IPv4 addresses. As a basic
resource for the Internet, the IPv4 addresses are limited and 80% of
the final allocation IP addresses have been used."

That's OK.
With all of the brute-force ssh attacks coming from there I say we should cut them off.
I have set the rate limit hit count down to 2 per minute, yet these idiots still keep trying--even though they can only try every other minute and just once.
It's statistically impossible to hack but I am watching the log--it's been a busy day for brute force.
Too funny.
