If I'm not mistaken the reserved /10 for IPv6 deployment and /16 for
micro-allocations is not included in the counter. Could staff confirm
please.
Further, there is an additional approximately /10 that will come from
the IANA recovered address pool. I'm comfortable with this being
reserved for special purposes, if we see fit.
However, I'm not comfortable with reserving more out of the current free
pool at this point. We are well past the point where making that kind
of change can occur without causing potentially bad side effects. Any
drastic change in what is available for normal allocations at this point
is likely create a panic.
We discussed this as a community, there were proposals to reserve larger
chunks including the whole last /8 as RIPE and APNIC did. We chose this
strategy. In some situations never is better than too late.
My best advice is find your towel and DON'T PANIC!

A couple of recent threads here and my general sense of the (lack of) urgency
around IPv6 deployment has made me wonder whether setting aside a /10 under
NRPM 4.10 - Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 Deployment - is really
going to be enough. I was looking at Geoff Huston's graphs
(http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/) and noticed that both RIPE and APNIC, by
coincidence, will be using up the first /10 out of their reserved /8s at about
the same time, near the end of this year. A naive calculation says that APNIC
will go through the /10 in about 3.5 years, and RIPE in about 2.2 years. Of
course it is difficult to predict how the runout of the reserved /10 under 4.10
will look, but I think it's reasonable to assume that it won't be any slower
than 2-3 years, since unlike RIPE and APNIC there's no limit to how much space
an entity can receive under 4.10, only the pace at which it can be handed out;
assuming the maximum rate, a /22 can be issued to someone every two years,
r
ather than once and done as with the other two RIRs.
Given that the inventory currently contains one /9 and one /10, we are getting
close to the point where any additional set-asides will no longer be possible,
so I thought it might be worthwhile at least considering whether the 4.10 pool
ought to be enlarged while it still can be. . .
Bill.
