ARIN is helping the net by being stingy with IP space. The fact of the
matter is there is no shortage of IPs. They need to re-deploy the wasted
class A and B space that's being hoarded by the large corporations.
To give you an idea how wasteful their policies are consider this. You are
a small ISP or corporation that has a requirement for multi-homing but ARIN
will not assign you IP space or they assign space that's not globally
routable due to the prefix length. Solution? Bi-directional NAT. Guess
what, bi-directional NAT requires 2 IPs for every host. Now that's
wasteful!
