There is nothing to preclude an RIR from requesting to get what it can justify, albeit that the RIRs have informally said that they will only accept a max of 2 /8s.
Presumably what would preclude this is the fact that the RIRs have an informal agreement to request a maximum of 2 /8s. If this informal agreement is vulnerable to breaking down, perhaps it is advisable that this 'informal agreement' be made into a more formal global policy?
Thus the following scenario is highly possible:IANA has 6 /8s remaining; RIR qualifies for 4 /8s and decides to accept what it qualifies for; what does IANA do with the remaining 2 /8s.
Indeed. And if the RIR qualifies for 6 /8s, game over a bit earlier than expected.
It would be unfortunate if the land rush anticipated by some within the ISP community was actually triggered by the RIRs.
