> I've heared this story over and over. Let's protect the pool, let's not waste it and now, after 4 years the pool is almost the same size.<br>
<br>
</span>The only reason that the pool is the size it is is because we received some last scraps from IANA. The number of addresses coming from IANA are less and less each time, so that's not sustainable. Without that the pool would be more than half empty by now.<br>
<span class=""><br></span></blockquote><div>As I've said, I've heard this story with the same explanation over and over for already a few years. I don't think that this story is sustainable either. The truth is almost everybody predicted the pool would last for 5 years and it's about the same size after 4. The same story was repeated over and over that the last /8 is under attack and we must do everything to protect it while this was never really documented and there were no actual statistics to show a real problem.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">
> Again, what is our purpose here ? Where is the imagined abuse ? Bring up some actual statistics not fake scary scenarios.<br>
<br>
</span>I have no purpose but to keep discussions on this list productive and honest. I'll leave the statistics to the working group session and the authors of the policy proposals.<br>
