[address-policy-wg] Revert "Run Out Fairly" after IPv4 depletion

Hi Hamed,

> It seems you want to force me to accept receive a 1 million IP address for next three months is fair??

It can be, depending on *many* factors. I know that the RIPE NCC IPRA's have been very thorough when checking documentation for requests, so if they approved a request it must have had good documentation. If you really have good grounds to base your accusation of fraud on then you can contact the RIPE NCC and ask them to look at it. This has been documented in RIPE-423 (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-423)

> Also please be informed that IPv6 is not routed in IRAN at least for 1 year.

That is a problem that Iran has to fix. There is no more IPv4 available to support further growth. I have seen the same in other countries in the Middle East. In most cases where are ways to tunnel IPv6 traffic over the existing IPv4 infrastructure. It is far from optimal, but it does give you some options. A well-known one is tunnelbroker.net by Hurricane Electric. They also support announcing your own address space with BGP over the tunnel.

I know the shortage of IPv4 addresses is annoying, but the whole community has seen this coming for years. Network operators should have prepared for this moment long ago, but I understand the frustration if your national telco operator has not done its job and you are still required to use their services...
