The LRSA was an attempt to bring them into the fold without forcing them to lose the current legacy addresses they hold. Previous attempts to force them to renumber, consolidate, or return have not been supported, and are even less likely now that they might have value on the market. Going forward, subsequent allocations require efficient utilization of current address space, and legacy space is included in that calculation. Additionally, when a specified transfer happens, the receiving party must justify the need for address, even if it is legacy space. These two rules further reduce the unequalness. To allow transfers with no needs based justification of legacy space is to maintain these two unequal classes, and make the privilege transferrable. Sounds like we have three choices here: 1. remove the inequality - claw back under utilized legacy IPv4 space 2. minimize the inequality - require legacy holders to be efficiently utilized before they get additional space (some legacy holders are growing, and have AIRN space) - hope this minimizes the inequality over time 3. maintain the inequality - Allow legacy addresses to transfer including the right to keep them under utilized Current policy is option 2. This proposal does not seek to change that. __Jason -- _______________________________________________________ Jason Schiller|NetOps|[email protected]|571-266-0006
