However, this was not our experience when we obtained addresses, and the ARIN rules as I understand them would not allow such an allocation today.
i picked a fairly recent example - the min allocation size has fluctuated over time. still it is not the case that most folks will get -exactly- what they need - they will - in nearly every case - get more address space than they need - due to the min allocation rules
Thats a huge amnt of wasted space. If our wise and pragmatic leaders (drc, jc, et.al.) are correct, then IPv4 will be around for a very long time. What, if any, plan exists to improve the utilization density of the existant IPv4 pool?I believe your question is based on an outdated assumption.
and that outdated assumption is?
