It applies to all but is of zero benefit to large orgs with contiguous space. This idea that it allows big orgs to horde space is a red herring. Jeffrey - For sake of argument, imagine a large ISP which over the course of time has ended up with a /8, two /16, and a /14 IPv4 blocks (with the /14 being the most recently issued block because of nearly full utilization of all prior blocks at the time.) Under present policy, the ISP cannot request address space until they have brought the utilization of the most recently issued block (the /14) up to 80%. Under the proposed policy, the ISP is immediately eligible to request space, since their aggregate utilization (even with a completely unused /14) is going to be very high (potentially as much as 97% due to the fully-used /8 block.) The proposed policy allows organizations to request space so long as their aggregate utilization is higher than 80%, and this means many existing organization with large IPv4 holdings will suddenly qualify to receive an additional allocation if they choose to request it. Whether that is desirable or not is a matter for the community to decide. FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
