Allocating each LIR exactly the same sized prefix regardless of _need_ is pretty unfair sll considered. The addresses could be utilized more efficiently addressing qualified need instead.
you're absolutely right. we'll have the ncc go out and manufacture more integers immeduately. why had we never thought of that? embarrassing.
We agree except for the negative cost shifting implications. Need Cost (euro) After Proposal (euro) /32 54.83 0 /31 109.65 0 /30 219.31 0 /29 438.61 0 /28 877.23 0 /27 1,754.46 0 /26 3,508.92 0 /25 7,017.83 0 /24 14,035.66 0 /23 28,071.32 0 /22 56,142.64 0 /21 112,285.29 56,142.64 /20 224,570.57 168,427.93 /19 449,141.15 392,998.50 /18 898,282.29 842,139.65 /17 1,796,564.58 1,740,421.94 /16 3,593,129.16 3,536,986.52 /15 7,186,258.33 7,130,115.69 /14 14,372,516.66 14,316,374.02 /13 28,745,033.32 28,688,890.68 /12 57,490,066.64 57,433,923.99 /11 114,980,133.27 114,923,990.63 /10 229,960,266.55 229,904,123.90 /9 459,920,533.09 459,864,390.45 /8 919,841,066.19 919,784,923.55 Table represents a post depletion cost of $40[1] (FX to euro) subtracting the "value" of a /22 ($56,142.64 FX to euro) as we go down the line with respect to need. The economics of this proposal and their implications are not clear hence my thinking around doing nothing instead. What are the most common 6 prefix sizes allocated in the RIPE region? For example, if it were these: /22 56,142.64 0 /21 112,285.29 56,142.64 /20 224,570.57 168,427.93 /19 449,141.15 392,998.50 /18 898,282.29 842,139.65 /17 1,796,564.58 1,740,421.94 I'd argue that this would be the focused unfairness of this proposal. I'm not even trying to make a big network argument since the damage is noise in the grand scheme of things for most of them. Best, -M< 1. Recently, there was an auction of a swamp /24 on eBay that had been bid up to $40 prior to the closing 60s of the auction where most of the pricing action occurs. I have no evidence to support $40 other than the observation and the widely held belief that this is reasonable. Factors of 10 for your comfort since we do have a reference over 2 years old for addresses @ $4.00.
