Hi, So, by looking in today's delegated-ripencc-latest file... We need to look back on 105 days of delegations in order to as close as possible to a /8s worth of addresses handed out. The numbers are: Total number of delegated addresses: 17,156,520 Total number of delegations: 1,696 Total number of allocated addresses: 14,784,512 (86.17%) Total number of allocations: 701 (41.33%) Total number of assigned addresses: 2,372,008 (13.83%) Total number of assignments: 995 (58.67%) If I, eh, "simulate" the last /8 policy + 2012-04 by assuming that every assignment is a /24 and every allocation is a /22, we would need to look back 3071 days to get to the equivalent of a /8: Total number of delegated addresses: 16,779,776 Total number of delegations: 28,787 Total number of allocated addresses: 12,547,072 (74.77%) Total number of allocations: 12,253 (42.56%) Total number of assigned addresses: 4,232,704 (25.23%) Total number of assignments: 16,534 (57.44%) Note that neither of these filter away additional delegations to LIRs and EUs, something which won't happen under the last /8 policy. I don't make the claim that these numbers necessarily are meaningful or even relevant to the discussion, though. You be the judge of that... > Everybody who wants to connect his organisation to the internet is > going to need at least some IPv4 address space for the time being, so > why screw it up for new entrants? Indeed. I suspect that this the exact problem 2012-04 aims to deal with, as the current last /8 policy *does* «screw it up for new entrants» [that aren't LIRs]. I have a couple of questions regarding the proposed policy, though (not directed at you Remco): 1) Under the proposed policy, would an LIR be eligible for both a /22 PA allocation and a /24 PI assignment, or is it either-or? (I think the proposal as it currently stands is the former, but is that intentional?) 2) Will ripe-530 section 6.10 (minimum assignment=/24 if multihoming) be in effect under 2012-04?
