The question here I think is what should be the trigger event. And then what happens to the remaining v4 addresses that fell down the back of the sofa, slipped through the cracks in the floorboards and ended up in a disused basement behind a locked door that has a ?beware of the leopard? sign.
Well OK. That?s two questions. :-)
Concerning the trigger, it seems pretty clear : Cannot allocate a single /22. The second, I would rewrite into "What is the amount of recovered space every year? When does recovery happens (all year or specific period of the year) ?".
That's really for the NCC's Registration Services Dept. to answer, i think :-)
Plus estimations for the future if any.
Oh, that will be a hard exercise.
However there are some questions on what does the NCC do *before* getting there.
Let's remember there still are temporary allocations. How much space do they usually take out of the /13 reserved for them ? Should be move temporary allocations to standard pool (and merge their pool into the main one) ? If yes, when ? Now ? When there are no more /22 in the regular pool (preventing the switch to /24 for a few months) ? when there is only /xx (/13 suggested) free space in the regular pool ? Do we need a policy for that of is it just "NCC bookkeeping stuff" ?
I would say: Don't touch that /13. Keep it simple :-)
There's the quarantine (returned/recovered blocks) : what happens when there's not a single /22 in the "free" pool, but there is space in the "Reserved pool" (quarantine + temp allocations).
Imho, that's a different pool.
How much v4 space would the NCC be holding once it?s no longer got /22s to allocate?
That?s three questions. :-)
That's about 10 questions. An answer before the impact analysis (I'm confident this will at least reach "impact analysis") would be greatly appreciated.
I will be able to give an opinion based on the answers to those questions. For the moment I'm half for (because the waiting list is something that will be needed at some point in the future),
Fully agree :-)
and half against (the "let's end the IPv4 madness" stuff).
Please see my previous e-mail. Unfortunately IPv4 *usage* is not going away anytime soon... :( Regards, Carlos
