I take "broken" as "painful and far enough from exhaustion", so in need of a fix.
Is there any urgency in getting closer to full exhaustion (i.e., no remaining austerity pool)? Is full exhaustion somehow less painful than the current status quo?
I guess we can look at the ARIN region, as they'll reach that point in the coming weeks. If that situation turns out to benefit their community somehow (like increasing the IPv6 deployment rate), I'm willing to be persuaded that we should open the floodgates and get rid of our austerity pool ASAP. I'm sceptical this will be the case, though.
I do think that it will push towards more serious IPv6 deployment (beyond "get the /29 or /32, announce it into the GRT, deployment successful").
Reminder, we are 3 years (precisely) into the "last /8 IPocalypse", and RIPE still has more than 0.98 of a /8 available (more likely 0.99).
And those three years we've delegated just shy of a /9:
Which makes the "austerity pool" (I would rather call it "waste pool") available for about 5-6 more years.
implemented, has pretty much dried up. There are currently only 163,481 addresses remaining in that pool earmarked to be delegated to the NCC.
I am fully aware of that.
In summary I don't think that we can open the faucet any more than it currently is if we want to be able to give IPv4 for new entrants in 2020.
If needed, we can revise things in another 3 years. -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN fr.ccs
