If both policies were introduced then I can easily envisage a scenario where a bigger RIR uses up its /8, then starts to nibble away at the remaining addresses of those who will be slower to allocate their space, ie AfriNIC and LACNIC, thus defeating the purpose of fairness that I see inherent in 2008-03. The worse case scenario here, for the less developed RIRs at least, is that they may see very little of that last /8.
Suppose we fast forward to ~2011 and you've just been rejected by RIPE- NCC because they have no more address space to hand out whereas AfriNIC and LACNIC both have (at least) a full /8.
I'm curious: what do you think is going to happen?
David: I am curious about other situation. Suppose that IANA allocates the last 2 /8s to the RIR A and one day later IANA receives a request from the RIR B that is running out of IPv4 addresses while the RIR A has (at least) 2 /8s. What do you think is going to happen? Raúl
Thanks, -drc
