Maybe it'd be a grand idea to not extrapolate based on current usage trends. We just don't know what's going to turn up in the future - maybe 20..40 years or less down the line, and would hate to see history repeating itself. And if v4 and v6 exhaustion were the only reason to care about allocating number resources to rogue entities, I'd not care as much as I do about this. --srs On Thursday, February 7, 2013, Gert Doering wrote:
I can do math (and learned that from experience).
Can you?
If a rogue LIR gets a fresh /29 every week, paying a full RIPE membership fee each time, RIPE's /12 will last about 2500 years.
And then, there's about 500 more /12s inside FP 001, and *then*, we get about 6 more tries to make a more conservative IPv6 allocation policy.
Should I care?
