[AFRINIC-rpd] Re: PDP discussions

Again Badru, that¹s not accurate.

Firstly, there is a need for addresses for the University's own
infrastructure
Secondly, there is a need for addresses for Lab pc's
Thirdly there is a need for addresses in things like student residences
Forth, there are the phones / notebooks / iPads / etc used by the students

Average wifi concurrency on a University I looked at recently was 3.2 per
person, add the university infrastructure and lab pcs etc, you are running
at a 5:1 or greater right there.  This has nothing to do with a student
having an IP for life, and I don't know how you come to that conclusion,
dynamic ip assignments, if the population is on campus the IP's will be
being used or you will run out of leases.  Sorry, but your argument fails to
hold up to technical scrutiny.

You are creating the assumption that every student in every educational
institution will have three other devices that need an IP address and that
every registered student would be allocated a permanent address through
their lifetime in the institution.

totally illogical
