I don't know how many years people want small blocks of IPv4 address space to be available for under a policy along these lines but I think if it is more than just one or two it probably needs to be designed in a way that takes account of historic demand and how people will react when other avenues are cut off.
Because this is just for initial allocations, I think 2 to 4 years is a reasonable timeframe. IPv4 will run out. This is only meant to make sure that new entrants have a few IPv4 addresses to work with.
What are the consequences to running out significantly earlier than 2-4 years? How important is the continued availability of small blocks when the bulk of the IPv4 address space ahs already been allocated? Regards, Leo Vegoda
