I believe defining fairness is undoubtedly always a challenging issue. But as i already wrote: dividing into groups and handling them unequally is _definitely_ an increase in unfairness. So what i can define in the issue at hand is: It is more fair not to introduce privileges for such groups than otherwise. So let's just not make IXPs/ISPs more equal than others. > would you be able to share them?

Obviously it would be much better to come up with a final Humm - we're talking about a proposal to make a small group special in the mentioned case: We are already in the unholy bunfight (cheers!). But you asked about the "IPv4 depletion" issue. As you seem interested, as a little hint, just take a look e.g. into the first /2 ... And there are a lot more issues of that kind... Regards, Chris
