<div>
<div>Seems like there is some debate about exactly how much space AfriNIC really has left, so I’d like to get this from the authoritative source.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can someone from AfriNIC supply this list the following information:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Exactly how much space DO we have left INCLUSIVE of the soft landing /8 and INCLUSIVE of blocks in /8s that are fragmented etc (ERX space etc)</div>
<div>Beyond the /8 for soft landing are there any other reservations against the space in the aforementioned line.</div>
<div>Can we get a breakdown per /8 of utilisation as well. The numbers currently on the website don’t seem to total up to the 2.70 /8s hence the questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

</span>As pointed out by Paulos already, [ceteris paribus], we may get upto 6 years ahead......and I believe it is 2.7 /8s and not 1.7 as you mentioned.<br>

<div>Perhaps we are looking at different stats. Here is another one that still seem to indicate 1.7<br>
<br>
<a href="http://afrinic.net/en/services/statistics/ipv4-exhaustion">http://afrinic.net/en/services/statistics/ipv4-exhaustion</a> (AFRINIC IPv4 pool usage).

<div>It would have been 2.7 if the /8 soft landing was not part of that stats, but i was informed that its part of it.<br>

<br>
</span>I am fine with this approach. I would add ARIN's policy implementation<br>
to the list of things to watch<br>

</span>I wouldn't be too worried about the membership numbers themselves, until they start to result into a corresponding increase in allocation/assignments.<br>

<div>Indeed! looks like you think people register to be member for other reasons other than requesting for resource [Pun intended] ;-)<br>
