Yes, except that the need for "provider independent" IP blocks did not disappear. Only the "ASSIGNED PI" status for new blocks did. The "ALLOCATED PA" is a good enough substitute for those needing it. Then there's still the "multihome with ASSIGNED PA phenomenon" and the "don't need multihoming, just a /24" (actually anything from /23 to /26 may qualify). For the second one, if done by the LIR it may actually decrease the depletion rate (saving months lost with extra allocations). -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN fr.ccs
