There is another question, which isn't nearly as thoroughly discussed.
Clearly, IPv4 processes are allocated as part of a number of different
processes. Chain X opens the 16001st outlet and wants that to have
exactly the same computer/network setup there as in other 16000. Telco
Y adds another UMTS customer and needs another IP address for that. And
so on, and so forth.
Once there aren't any more IPv4 addresses (on terms acceptable to the
people involved) these processes have to change in some way. I'm not
interested in _how_ they have to change. My question now is instead:
What are the processes that are responsible for most allocation at the
moment? Has anyone surveyed that?
