Or should I just read this draft (on top of some other MByte of stuff that should be read ;-)
Its only a short draft, but I'm in disbelief that "A number of organizations have expanded their autonomous private networks to the point of exhausting the address space identified in RFC 1918"
Sounds more like poor / lazy / classful subnetting to me, of which the cure is is not allocating another 3 /8's of otherwise usuable globally unique IP space.
We already have 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16, 169.254/16, 192.0.2/24. If these 18 million IPs aren't enough for an enterprises internal usage, I'm amazed.
Ditto. But there might be cellphone providers with large coverage areas that might need that many. -Hank
