Nope. He is trying to convince the decision makers to keep those resources out of the hands of people who use them to our mutual detriment Do note that the same people who were getting themselves /15s are also getting themselves rather large v6 allocations. As soon as more places adopt v6 they will see much more of the same than they ever experienced on v4 Keep at the we are not the internet police meme though.. You people have far more IP space to squander in this manner so that future generations will surely thank you for the extensively poisoned IP and name space that they will inherit. Oh, v6 is never going to run out? I remember people saying exactly that when class A, B and C addresses were to be had for the asking. --srs (htc one x) <div class="gmail_quote">On 28-Jun-2013 10:18 AM, "Saso G." <<a href="mailto:saso@eth.si">saso@eth.si</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 27/06/13 23:50, Ronald F.

I wish you all a nice life. Address space is not some commodity that you (or anyone else) should assume to own. Instead of turning your focus towards LEGACY protocols, that should have been discarded years ago try realizing that IP address space is a virtual commodity, limited only by the tech capabilities and foresight of the designers building it. The fact that someone is taking their time to attemp freeing resources from a legacy protocol just proves how much pointless buirocracy there is in this world. Maybe turn it down a notch? You forget this is a decentralized network without a central authority, there's only so much a RIR can do... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - <a href="http://www.enigmail.net/" target="_blank">http://www.enigmail.net/</a> iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRzROAAAoJEKDRRlJA5M0IC7UP/R52f/ddswSWLymPFGo7d9xY qqH+zI94mfYLw8NBGYaqdyCuc/LhjA1rW2ziP4wkaznc2Pz7FdgJhWdL//CJNaLz /WBAdMPMcFMFyvzzFQjcazJCIv6vUN1ePH1Y8WvjGpBMM1uIC5bHpiJ9Jmau94nk hCkdVw8JEfPsCFdOsDX9k1rzQChyCVVNlfXLsHaPkz75Er38hO4KOmAQzE0cp7Xw +gmTZG6Ku8Lzl19Nr7O6WRfzZXi5NbEikpe0+yU4dGr75sE7Xig9CodDrLzVO42D Kkxu676AYKtcXWaC1kaJzozD25ESM0PEvhkoJTOEC7ZOTtieKRs6ToKpe21kyEhH pw56jPUftDTDFdgDXdDwA078fD/dRjYvMFzGNgWi5tFmRymJO9yCv9EYQrPM9TKs vkHhirsMPSq9Yn88EAdTaZmG5Hogjcp3d/OtFfkEvHgARJNRXzrJ+e79nS3UGq9L iGQWv+pi7hiTmeH45e3cRT5TxLsOAq0sHUNjkz96nnrbZDb8QWofzBNhnaYEEZ1l Cp2PvoR3t5uA6nJ8hy7h8pTYKbcgG+66o1c0Tp8C1U8Tb4S/oHJyu3+PA4PnSPh2 YDrKN6cHlhQpipiGhbI68sJCfusSEoo1koYicoaZbaLVsYPRb+thekMoGBRfAQ83 DeOp5X5WSX+vgqf3xVok =5DpD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </blockquote></div>
