I’m sympathetic to those problems Igor. Everyone is. But the root cause of these problems has to be tackled. Burning through the last reserves of IPv4 as a short-term workaround does not seem wise. It would be as pointless as putting a band-aid over an arterial bleed. The problems of outdated infrastructure and lack of resources would still be there after a more liberal allocation policy for the last /8 meant ALL of the remaining IPv4 was gone.
For now just a half of the last /8 (8mln) can help 7.812 LIRs to grow twice. I have no information about how many LIRs fall under our adjustment criteria. Maybe someone (RIPE staff e.g.) can announce the number of LIRs and their average pools so we can calculate the benefits and the consequences. I agree with your concerns but think that if we want to deploy IPv6 we should seek the ways to LIRs developement because valves twisting spawns abusers but not reformers. -- Best regards, Igor Strelyaniy Network Operation Manager ATOMOHOST LLC email: noc@atomohost.com website: atomohost.com
