has it be clarified by arin on why they are going to allocate /28s? seems a faster way to waste ipv4 space with unusable ip addresses? The only thing I can think of is micro allocations for IX points. *Bryan Socha* Network Engineer 646.450.0472 | *bryan@serverstack.com <bryan@serverstack.com>* *ServerStack* | Scale Big On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 6:58 PM, William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

What I fail to understand from this thread is the apparent expectation that these smaller-than-/24 microscopic delegations from ARIN will be popular.
Hi Tore,
There is every expectation that they will be unpopular. They're a hedge against the possibility of a grueling last-minute IPv6 conversion following a failed IPv4 market. They're something that can, with difficulty, be made to work. They serve no other purpose.
