Note that besides addresses returned or reclaimed by RIPE there is the Recovered IPv4 Pool administered by the IANA, see the global policy [GPP-IPv4-2011, AKA RIPE-2011-01]; http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion And it has more than a /8 in it already; https://www.arin.net/announcements/2012/20120611.html So there are going to be dribs and drabs of IPv4 for a long time. (For those not familiar with the idiom "dribs and drabs", it means "small sporadic amounts.") There will not be enough to really make a fundamental difference, however there will definitely be more than enough for people to argue over, its human nature and is already happening. As I don't represent any resources in the RIPE region, I will not express an opinion on the policy itself. But I though it was import for people to realize there is more than a trivial amount of resources in the IANA Recovered IPv4 Pool even though it won't save the world from IPv4 exhaustion either. -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer at umn.edu Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 ===============================================
