Re: [sig-policy] prop-091: Limiting of final /8 policy to specific /9
transfers, the presented image becomes even worse. Why should folks be
forced to pay for the IPv4 addresses they need when literally millions
are sitting on a shelf, some likely _never_ to be used?
As illustrated in the summary of this proposal, a /9 is more than
enough to give every new entrant their small quantity of IPv4 for the
next decade. That does not seem short sighted at all considering that
long term, IPv4 is a legacy protocol.
