Chris,
To follow up on an earlier comment, the rate at which ARIN (or
other RIRs) are running out of /10s (or /8s) is probably
irrelevant, as are hypotheses about what ARIN staff might do
about requests for allocation for CGN use with or without this
policy/ block.
But, since people want to talk about it in those terms, I'd be
interested in some real data and projections. In particular,
how many large ISPs have expressed significant interest in this,
where "large" is defined as "big enough that an application for
a /10 would be taken seriously". Now, if one /10 block is
allocated to this use versus all of those ISPs applying for
separate ones, how much does that change the likely date at
which all of the currently-unallocated /8s are exhausted.
If that difference is less than years, I, personally, don't
think that particular argument is useful. Other arguments may
be, but not that one.
