We get down to the last /8 and the following happens
. a /<minimum allocation> is given, or available to all existing LIRs
. a /<minimum allocation> is available to all new LIRs
. a /16 is reserved for future use.
. a the rest, if there is a rest, is used or allocated to....... yeah this is
the bit I don't see explicitly described.
because it does not exist.
Does it sit there waiting for new LIRs to get their /<minimum allocation> or is
it able to be allocated under current guidelines?
it is allocated to new lirs or existing lirs, one per, as they apply.
When APNIC is down to the last /8:
/16 gets reserved
All existing LIRs get one more /<minimum allocation> and thats it. Don't
come back for any more ever, no matter what the reason, even if we have some
more not being used.
a /min is available to each existing lir. they need to apply to get it.
Any new LIRs get one /<minimum allocation> and thats it. Thats all you
get. You can't have anymore, don't ask. Even if there is some of the last /8
still unallocated.
yes, when they apply.
Any other space within the last /8 is then kept aside for future new LIRs.
It will never be available to existing LIRs. If you want some of it, get a new LIR.
yep
