Hi Yakov, Current growth rates are not representative of actual demand. They've been suppressed by the RIRs for more than a decade now, via their refusal to assign small otherwise-routeable blocks (e.g. /24). The suppression was initiated as a stop-gap solution at the request of the network operators faced with what is currently an unrecoverable systemic cost of about US $2B per year and growing. Needless to say, that decade-long stopgap is wearing thin. We really do an alternative. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
