Randy and all, Wild fantasy is right! Not going to happen... Randy Bush wrote:
However, what space is recovered is probably best shared according to need, rather than just staying with the RIR where it was originally allocated. This principle is what this global policy is about. so, may i infer an unstated assumption that the distribution of 'recoverable' space is highly skewed in relation to expected need? We suspect so.
the gossip here at apnic is that some folk are entertainig the wild fantasy that the us military will return a lot of ipv4 space.
