On what grounds? The ISPs will come along and say 'I have X new customers,
please give me more space for them'. The former being true, on what ground can
the RIRs refuse (modulo cases like RIPE)?
If you have X new customers and you ask a RIR to
give you more IPv4 space, I doubt that you would
get more space as the evaluation might require
more information ( e.g.
http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/contact/ipv4-evaluation-procedures
).
Here's a comparison of RIR policies. Please
refer to the document from each RIR for authoritative information.
RIR Period
(months)
AfriNIC 12 Minimum /22, no maximum
Demonstrate 80% efficient
utilization of last allocated space
or an immediate need that
requires more IP addresses than are
available in the most recent allocation.
APNIC 12 Minimum /24, up to a maximum
/22 of the remaining available
space after 15 April 2011.
Demonstrate 80% efficient
utilization of all prior allocated space.
ARIN 3 Minimum /22 for multihomed, otherwise /20, no maximum.
Demonstrate efficient
utilization of all previous allocations and
at least 80% of the most recent allocation.
LACNIC 12 The policy for determining
the size of additional allocations is
based on the efficient
utilization of space within a time frame
of 12 months.
Demonstrate 80% efficient
utilization of all prior allocated space.
The applicant must already
have at least one IPv6 block assigned by
LACNIC or, if not, must
simultaneously request an initial IPv6 block
in accordance with the
corresponding applicable policy. If an
applicant has already been
assigned an IPv6 block, they shall submit
to LACNIC a brief document
describing their progress in the
implementation of IPv6.
RIPE Minimum /21, no maximum.
Demonstrate approximately
80% efficient utilization of all prior
allocated space.
Until 1 July 2010, up to 12
months. Between 1 July 2010 ? 31
December 2010, up to nine
months Between 1 January 2011- 31 June
2011, up to six months As
of 1 July 2011, up to three months
According to the above, you can still get an
allocation of IPv4 addresses. The amount depends
on the regional policy. Whether a /10 allocation
is possible from the above is an exercise left to the reader.
Regards,
