Re: [address-policy-wg] Policy for allocation of IPv6 address space from IANA to RIRs

It would make sense (to me anyway) that once xx% of a /12 is allocated then another /12 is issued to the RIR.

withholding judgement of the wisdom of a /12, and just using it as an example. it would seem sensible that the xx% be 100% less the expected burn rate for the time it takes to allocate a new block, plus some fudge. i.e. if iana can allocate in a week, then 90% would seem reasonable. if it takes the iana a year, then a much smaller percentile. and before we start throwing stones at the iana, it would be interesting to actually know the mean and variance of queue times of the iana and the various rirs over the last decade. my personal experience would not suggest that anyone could be particularly proud. randy
