PDP Number: 2008-03 Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space
Dear Colleagues,
We have published a draft document for the proposal described in 2008-03 and the proposal is moved to Review Phase.
This proposal describes the process for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 space from IANA to the RIRs. When a minimum amount of available space is reached, one /8 will be allocated from IANA to each RIR, replacing the current IPv4 allocation policy.
I don't think a policy with a fixed size allocation to each RIR will do any good once the IPv4 space is running really low, especially given that the consumption speed of the RIRs is quite diverse. I would much rather see an adaptive policy (for example as described in 2007-09) in place. Marcus
