Re: standards for giving out blocks of IP addresses

Please note that the RFC2050 reference to 25% and 50% is for end user
address space, while the 80% refers the ISP's level of assignment of their
allocated address space. I was refering to the confusion some ISP's
exhibit in requesting %80 utilization by end users prior to additional
assignments.

James:
  That's for allocation to ISP's. The RFC refered to end user utilization
of the address space (see http://www.arin.net/regserv/ip-assignment.html).
I've seen some ISP's incorrectly quote the 80% utilization to customers
and expect them to achieve that before assigning them more IP address
space.
