Revert "Run Out Fairly" after IPv4 depletion
5.0 states "As of 1 July 2011, the RIPE NCC will start allocating enough address space to LIRs to meet their needs for a period of up to three months."
Can someone explain to me how these two recent allocations fit into this rule (extracted from the delegated file):
ripencc|IR|ipv4|5.112.0.0|1048576|20120629|allocated ripencc|IR|ipv4|5.208.0.0|1048576|20120904|allocated
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here - is there any reason why they wouldn't «fit into this rule»?
The LIRs in question had probably used over 80% of their current allocations (if they had any), documented their need for IPv4 addresses for the coming three months, and received allocations to cover that need.
1 million IP addresses needed in a 3 month period? Fascinating. -Hank
In other words, there's probably nothing special about them at all. It's still more or less business as usual at the NCC, as we've not yet reached the last /8.
