Anyway: there is likely to not ever be a full /7, so a /7 cannot be allocated, for example. Some "natural" limit exists, whether exactly known or not, and there's no guarantee of anyone on the list ever eventually getting filled. Perhaps it should simply be that when ordering the wait list --- All requests whether new or still pending each XX day period, say over 90 days will be considered simultaneously on one date, and in addition to being ordered by request date, the requests are sorted into buckets based on the number of total IP addresses requested, e.g.: All requests that can be satisfied at their minimum size by a /24, /23, /22, /21, or less (for example) in the entire waiting list, and those larger being processed today shall each be sorted into a corresponding "bucket" with other requests that can be satisfied at that size. All requests from every bucket of smaller sized requests shall be satisfied in at least their minimum size before considering requests in any buckets of larger size. In this manner a "larger request" like a /20 could in theory be made, but even if that request was pending for 2 years: all the new requests that can be satisfied by /24 or less, then /23 or less, then /22 or less, then /21 or less should be considered and filled first. So to have any chance of filling a massive allocation, then that should mean the waiting list has become essentially empty..... -- -JH
