Sure it may be a valuable consideration, but I don’t like the idea of burning the waitlist to the ground and auctioning off returned space because there’s a cost to other operators when routes get announced. There is a cost to get on the DFZ, and ongoing costs to stay on it. Operators will deal with it or switch to the 0/0 if they can. Small shops (or anyone) looking for IPv4 space, but willing to wait an exceptionally long period of time in lieu of paying several thousands of dollars for it, should be allowed to wait. I would be in favor of a /24 maximum allocation from the waitlist with no one grandfathered. And organizations should absolutely have to re-justify their place on the waitlist every 2 years, starting with any entry on the list older than 2 years. Else, their place in line is lost and those who continue to justify their needs are moved up until they are fulfilled or IPv4 becomes obsolete. -Matt Matt Erculiani On Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 21:29 William Herrin <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 4:15 PM Matt Erculiani <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > your announcement from wherever you are in the world consumes a slot > in their routing tables > > > > The size of the Internet’s routing table isn’t an ARIN problem, nor > should it influence number policy decisions.
