Hello. Absolutely right.... Applying for LIR status just for multi-homing where /24 PI space is more than enough is a waste of much bigger IPv4 space, but then again more money for some ..... :> Greg On 2012-11-07 15:17, Yannis Nikolopoulos wrote:

Hi,
To put it differently: Why does anyone who considers IPv4 legacy care about how it's used up? Well, I *do* care about the way we use the community's resources in

I'm confused. We should all care about the way the community's resources are used. That's the whole point of this discussion (and this group). What we're now seeing, is new LIRs that never wanted to become LIRs in the first place and just wanted a /24 of PI space. They have no (real) alternative though if they want to multihome (as an LIR/ISP I'm with Nick on this one). How's that fair on them, considering registration and handling fees?
As far as IPv6 goes, most of us or on the same boat, no need to state the obvious. As Richard said, the question here is whether we should hand out PI from the last /8 or not.
