A /24 every 6 months (provided that conditions keep being fulfilled).

Some people tell me that "last /8" in RIPE-land is supposed to serve the same purpose, even if it's not written. Plus, you *CAN* get more than 4 x /24 in ARIN-land (to date 2 x /24, but the allocation rate is really low). > People violating the ARIN rules shouldn't be used as an excuse for us to > change > the rules in RIPE. > > https://www.arin.net/announcements/2014/20140130.html > > ARIN does not count them as part of the available ranges for > allocation, so we should not assume they are part of the normal pool. It's not the violation of ARIN rules, it's the fact that ARIN is *NOT* v4-exhausted. They still have available space, even if they call it otherwise. And it's used (or at least supposed) to reward people with real IPv6 deployment.
