1. Separate pools or single pool a. have a "last /8 pool" which is 185.0.0.0/8 (strictly one /22 per LIR) and a "recovered space pool" containing all space received from IANA as "recovered and redistributed space" (for extra allocations) - APNIC-like separation of pools b. treat all addressing space available for allocation as a single pool
The only reason I can see is to keep the unused, continuous blocks in 185.0.0.0/8 if we ever need them for something else and thus try to get rid of the recovered pool first.
how about combining this by treating all addresses equal in a single pool, but advising the NCC to hand out recovered addresses first unless there are specific, yet-to-be-defined reasons that they rather need to come from the 185/8 heap? Cheers, -C.
