<p class="MsoNormal">Ernest,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for availing the stats and SM for the comments; its
very apparent that if we move by allocation we are going to have around two and
ahalf years to exhaust our <span style=""> </span>/8 pool,
needless to mention that we intended to reserve another /16 for unforeseen
circumstances(Assumption: 0.350, is projected allocation for subsquent years)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ernest, in the current v4 allocation policy, you require the
applicant to have proof of efficient use of address space, and also to have exceeded
an 80% utilization threshold before applying for any subsequent allocations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could you kindly bring up a similar graph (if possible),
only it should be based on usage as opposed to allocation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: Allocations and actual usage we all agree are different,
and in a time of scarcity like this, I would suggest we <span style=""> </span>work with stats from the later and formulate a
good policy and ensure adherence as we know this will be the switch to this
pools life support system.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Leo: Generosity beyond this level(both on allocation size and blocks), <span style=""> </span>I really doubt if it will be possible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hard figures are not available so I cannot do any further
processing of the data, but If i were to take the highest value 0.350 as
projected allocations for the subsequent years, and factor in our current 90%
usage threshold,<span style=""> people should be able to use 10% more addresses before asking for more(10% delay)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Technically if we are not giving it out, we are keeping it,
hence the pools live can be sustained for an extra 10%; With all other factors
constant this would be approximately four years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PS: Some factors may not remain constant in my assumptions,
but i believe the leverage from <span style=""> </span>usage
based projections should even things.</p>
