<br>RIRs allocate based on need. IANA allocates to RIRs when the RIR has used ~80 of its previous /8 IIRC. If they weren't diviided even;y, RIPE and ARIN would probably demonstrate need faster and therefore get more of the pool.<br>

From the policy, there
will be no other v4 resource as the main pool and probably the /8 pool (depending on response to my query 2), will both be depleted. meaning this RIR will not have v4 at all.<br></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div>
