[rpd] Policy Proposal Update - IPv4 Soft Landing-bis

[Saul Stein]

Surely new companies are a better position to role our v6 natively?

Its like saying a product is end of life and that we shouldn't buy it
because if we use up what is left, we won't be able to get anymore... in
this case, once all the v4 space is used up, we have an alternative -
v6...

Yes, new comers will have a few more challenges once there is no v4 space,
but that is why there are mechanisms for this to take place.

Of course large, small, poor rich is all semantics - from context or this
discussion we are talking large and small block of IPv4 addresses and
those companies that can get them. What is a large block in my view? Your
view may vary but at this stage of IPv4 depletion anything bigger than /16
is large. Because it can potentially serve 256 small ISPs where small
block is /24. AfriNIC also categorized those tiers already for us on its
website.

Semantics aside you very well know what I mean.
