[address-policy-wg] 2015-05 Discussion Period extended until 13 May 2016 (Last /8 Allocation Criteria Revision)

Thanks Randy,

below is what you wrote on Apri 15:


>i do not support pigs at the last /8 trough
>the purpose of the single last /8 allocation was to allow NEW ENTRY.
>pigs coming back to the trough every 18 months is not new anything.

>randy

 can you please tell me what you meant from "last /8 allocation" there?

Cheers,

Arash Naderpour

P.S my understanding from 2015-05 is that it divides the current pool into 2
separate parts, last allocation of /8 and additional free IP pool received
from IANA.

you may find reading the actual last /8 policy informative.

> Last /8 is not really get affected by this policy. 
> - Additional /22 IPv4 allocations can be only provided from address space
>   outside 185/8

this is misleading or just sadly misinformed

last /8 is not an address range, it is a state reached once the ncc had only
that address range and continues on irrespective of additions or
subtractions of space to the ncc's pool.
